**game: Carnivores 1 / 2** Pteranodon is an ambient pterosaur in Carnivores 2, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn, and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt. It is a relatively common animal, flying above the hunter and screeching. Pteranodon is a massive flying reptile known as a pterosaur – not a dinosaur, but a close relative. Pteranodon's wing-span is also longer and larger than that of any known living bird. Despite the its enormous qualities, the animal is quite skittish, often vocalizing its distress when the player is near. Pteranodon has a long head crest that is probably used to help counter and balance the weight of its massive beak, which it used to capture fish and other aquatic animals. **reality** Pteranodon (from the Greek πτερ- "wing" and αν-οδων "toothless"), is an extinct genus of pteranodontid pterosaur, which existed during the Late Cretaceous period in North America.
