Nyctosaurus lived during the late Cretaceous period from 85-65 million years ago and it then died out with the dinosaurs and other pterosaurs at then end of the Cretaceous.
Although the size of a man, Nyctosaurus was one of the smallest pterosaurs ever known. It have a wingspand 3-6 feet wide.
Like all pterosaurs, Nyctosaurus lived in flocks. Their extraordinary crests were used for display, much like the tail of a peacock. Like all pterosaurs, they could skim through the waves of the water, look closer to see a fish and then "SNAP", they got one.
