IΒ΄m not sure how harrassed could a pterandon be. I think that their size show some kind of sexual competition, and if this competition were male-to-male fights, y guess that male pteranodons were really ill tempered guys... Just guessing. Awesome work.

Yeah, this was intended as a joke. That Pteranodon could just swallow the bird easily. I imagine the males making some sort of ritual display or dance rather than going to toe-to-toe against their rivals. But its possible.

I was thinking that because of their size, and i was thinking that they were mostly like male sealions, who are very big and fight each other, or maybe as crocs, who fight, but they ¨sing¨ for females too...
Do you think that big pterosaurs were able to defend themselves in some way from predators? Because they look like very nimble but instead, they have pretty strong bones and sharp beaks...

Yes, I bet they knew how to keep at bay most smaller theropods, specially pteranodonts or azdarchoids...or even hunt them when they were big enough!

Mi inglΓ©s empeora con pterosaurios de por medio u.u Una vez vΓ­ un documental, llamado paleomundo, por el Discovery Channel a las 3 de la tarde (Gratos recuerdos de mi infancia) que hicieron un estudio que indicaba que aparentemente tienen los huesos un 85 % mΓ‘s fuertes que los humanos !

Your depiction clearly shows how large these creatures were in real life, which is quite hard to imagine. Very good!

I can actually imagine that. Birds are quite good at harassing larger animals.
