Scientists believe that prehistoric pterosaurs could have gone for thousands of miles non-stop.
The giant winged reptiles would burn off their copious supplies of body fat to help fuel their epic flights and relied on updrafts of warm air and air currents to stay aloft.Large pterosaurs may have been the frequent-flier champions of the dinosaur age, capable of soaring up to 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) at a stretch, scientists say.
