Is this a real living pterosaur or cgi?

That became clearer the blurrier the close up.

Not really blurry, but pixelated, this happens when you zoom in on low quality camera's. I would settle for the mechanical bird however, it just looks too natural for an animation...

Why does it look natural? Seems like it is about to do a flip when looks down and the wings look rather stuff when flapping.

Read my earlier post of why I think it looks natural

i"m sorry guys... when i was returning from one of my time travelling expeditions i accidentally knocked a specimen cage over in the cargo hold and that little bugger escaped. good thing it wasn't the velociraptor specimen

I want you guys to look at this video taken at Idaho and tell what you think of it? Is it a real pterodactyl or unfortunately just a well made cgi fake.

You can watch the video here

mysteriousuniverse.org...

As a biologist by training, this is CGI for sure. To have a sustainable population of "pterdodactyls", we would see them everywhere like larks, pigieons and doves.

By looking at it.
I'm not a gullible fool who falls for BS.
Also not an idiot.

The world is not as old as you think, and humans walked with dinosaurs. Check out this description of a brachiosaurus:

"Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.
Lo, I pray thee, his power [is] in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly.
He doth bend his tail as a cedar tree, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,
His bones [are] tubes of brass, His bones [are] as a bar of iron."

Only a dinosaur has a tail as big as a cedar tree.

Has anyone got a dinosaur facepalm pic to add to this?.

Also, larger animals require more resources and thus there would naturally be less of them, so they would not be as plentiful as pigeons.

Nobody is saying you are, you can't just be all certain if CGI without any analysis. Move on...

Peace

Do you have a constructive comment to add to this?

Move along boy.

Where exactly in that quotation does it say his tail is as big as a cedar tree?

a reply to: boymonkey74

anyway you didnt explain why it's cgi. im not saying it isnt, just a good explanation would be welcome that's all.

a reply to: Picollo30

can a toy do the natural wing flapping and gliding like the "bird" in the video?

Thats why I thought it was animated, too.

It looks very unnatural to me. I watched several videos on birds in flight to figure out what looked so wrong to me. When the wings flap downward. it seems like they are unnaturally stopped. The moments are stiff. Also when it is gliding, there is no tilt to allow for the catching of air. He glides too straight without any body movement or angling.

yes you are an idiot If you think a creature which was extinct 66 million years ago still flys today.
Your proof has been found as photo shopped but you continue to believe it.
What does it make you?.

Are you being facetious? When the bending of its tail is described as a cedar tree...

I am a bible believer but the bible does not require a young earth age for Job to have been shown a /brachiosaurus/apatosaurus/brontosaurus or ichysaur or pliesiosaur in the case of leviathan (the non demon version.) Job's vision was in the spirit (sort of like it was for St John of the apocalypse and not in his physical body. and the bit about someone wrestling with prehistoric critters for fun is about the angels in the previous age before flesh and blood adam. the bible when properly understood cannot contradict what is known properly about science. there is no reason to presuppose that you must either believe in science or only believe in the bible when both are properly understood.

So your "source" is the opening sequence of the movie "Wargames"!

Good grief, some people on ATS have sunk to a new low,
