Pterodactylus, also known as pterodactyl, was a genus of pterosaur, an avian animal indigenous to planet Earth millions of years ago. They existed alongside the dinosaurs and evolved from common ancestors, the archosaurs. (TOS novel: First Frontier)
Similar creatures evolved on other planets, such as the Kyrian pterodactyl, the Neesan pterodactyl, the Oblik pterodactyl and the Vorian pterodactyl. (VOY episode: "Living Witness"; TOS comic: "The Cosmic Cavemen"; TOS comic: "Dinosaur Planet"; DS9 episode: "The Ascent")
