Civil War Pteranodon Photograph
This may be the hot topic now, so I’ll pitch in. This old looking photo shows a few Union soldiers and a large pterosaur that we’re led to believe was shot by those men. The big question is whether or … Continue reading
Are Modern Pterosaurs Bioluminescent?
That’s a good question, yes. I approach it from different sides, rather than just with one question, “Are modern pterosaurs bioluminescent?”. Are any Large Flying Creatures Bioluminescent? In other words, does anything larger than a firefly have wings for flying and have … Continue reading
Pterosaur Sighting or What?

More About the New Pterosaur Book
The new book is strictly in digital format and not available in traditional print form. Live Pterosaurs in Australia and in Papua New Guinea is shorter than the previous books by Whitcomb, about 76 pages, according to Amazon. Still, this … Continue reading
Possible Pterosaurs in Southern California Storm Drains
I don’t mean to limit this to the underground drainage lines that take rain water quickly to the ocean. I also include the rivers and open storm channels that run through some areas of Southern California. Apparently at least a … Continue reading
New Electronic Book on Pterosaurs in Australia and in PNG
I’ll compare this new e-book, Live Pterosaurs in Australia and in Papua New Guinea, with the print book Searching for Ropens. Both of them have details on pterosaur sightings in Papua New Guinea. Both are written by Jonathan Whitcomb. General Genre: … Continue reading
