Pterodaustro was a genus of pterosaurs that is believed to have filter-fed with a "tooth comb". Like flamingos (who also filter-feed), the Pterodaustro's proposed color would be caused by its diet, which likely consisted mainly of crustaceans and other small creatures

Because of its tiny focken legs, it might've had some difficulty flying, unlike other pterosaurs
