From the Early Cretaceous, this 5-foot-wingspan pterosaur flapped around in its homeland in the two countries we’ve found it in, China and England. You know, those basically nextdoor neighbors. Then again, maybe they took a space bridge to get between them through some Pandoran magic. James Cameron, write that into your next sequel! </p><p><br></p><p>Want to further support the show?
