Where on line can I find any species of dinosaurs that can fly?

Please list the site, and if the site shows what they look like as well that would be great.

  1. <<Where on line can I find any species of dinosaurs that can fly?>>

    Birds are dinosaurs by descent, and most of them can fly.  If you're looking for a flying non-birdy dino, google for /Microraptor gui/, a four-winged, Lower Cretaceous dromaeosaurid from China.  Should you be thinking of pterosaurs, they're weren't actually dinosaurs.

    Update

    <<Although the birds likely evolved from the dinosaurs, pre-avian dinosaurs probably could not fly.>>

    /Microraptor gui/ certainly could fly.


  2. Although the birds likely evolved from the dinosaurs, pre-avian dinosaurs probably could not fly. But there were many flying, non-avian reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. They were the pterosaurs which included Plesiosaurus, Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, Dimorphodon, Rhamphorhynchus, Quetzalcoatlus, and many others.
