Ornithocheiroids are a group of pterodactyloid pterosaurs that are commonly portrayed living near water and eating fish. They were among the last of pterosaurs to possess teeth.
They may or may not have been around in the latest Cretaceous time period.
Physical traits
Ornithocheiroids have limbs specialized for an amphibious lifestyle, whether fresh, salt or brackish water. In some cases, like Pteranodon, they can swim for food, while others probably waded in water, like modern herons do.
Unlike the Azhdarchids, the limbs of ornithocheiroids are not suited for terrestrial life, some ornithocheiroids couldn't even walk.
Many Ornithocheiroids are known from the Cretaceous deposits of North and South America as well Europe.

Nyctosaurus was an Ornithocheiroid, first appearing in the opening sequence, and in a cameo in the first episode (although they weren't identified).
They returned in the last episode, which, strangely, took place 2 million years earlier in their environment than in the first episode. Nigel Marvin flew alongside a flock in an airplane once. one was also caught and eaten by a Deinosuchus right out of the air.
Trivia
- Ornithocheirus has been reclassified as Tropeognathus, but both genus are Ornithocheiroids.
