Pterosaurs didn’t fly

So says a Japanese researcher, claiming his studies of bird wing aerodymanics show the winged dinosaurs were just too heavy. While they might be able to glide, they were as much as 90 pounds too heavy to fly in windless conditions, Katsufumi Sato claims.

Pterosaur “fans” are up in arms, or wings, about the claim.
