19 Pterosaur fan. Here for more reach. I draw trash and people like it

Did you know, when the first pterosaur was described by Cuvier, a naturalist, Prof. Jean Hermann, suggested that in China pteosaur-like animals with “bat wings, a bird head, and a long tail” were still alive (per publication by von Murr (1775)). Cuvier, naturally, rejected this as "fanciful"

Knowing that the animal of whose existence Hermann was alerting Cuvier was so strange as to be regarded as a chimera by many naturalists, Hermann also drew Cuvier’s attention to a similarly strange flying animal that allegedly lived in China, and had been alluded to by Murr (1775) This is Murr’s illustration (C.G. von Murr
Beiträge zur Naturgeschichte von Japan und Cina
Der Naturforscher, 3 (7) (1775), pp. 1-51); Cuvier was not convinced. Photo: Bibliothèque centrale MNHN, Paris, France.
