    Soaring above the dinosaurs, flying reptiles described as “demonic pelicans” once navigated their way above a vast inland sea

    Looks like someone has never seen a pelican. They’re still demonic.

    • In short: A new species of pterosaur — a flying reptile that existed in the age of dinosaurs — has been discovered.
    • The study was based on fossils found in outback western Queensland.
    • What’s next? The discovery adds to our understanding of the winged creatures and the limited fossil record of them in Australia.
