En este video veremos 10 de los mitos, malentendidos y confusiones más comunes en lo que respecta a los pterosaurios. Estos, los primeros vertebrados voladores no eran como la mayoría los imagina. ¿Cuáles son sus relaciones con las aves? ¿Son dinosaurios? ¿Qué comían? ¿ Cómo eran ¿Qué tamaños tenían? ¿Cómo lograban volar pesando casi 100 kg? Y aunque suene loco ¿qué pinta Selena Quintanilla en todo esto? Descúbrelo en este top 10 de pterosaurios.
