Fossil evidence suggests tiny pterosaurs the size of house cats

In the age of dinosaurs, ancient reptiles called pterosaurs soared through the skies of the Earth. To date, most fossil evidence of this flying reptile had wingspans that were as wide as 10 m (33 ft). Now, newly examined fossils suggests a smaller form of the vertebrate – about the size of a house cat – that could rewrite the evolutionary history of this ancient creature.
