They survived into the Mesozoic? Really? I’d like to know more about that evidence if possible. Cheers.

Please tell us the story of your sighting!
Were you living somewhere near the Arizona/Mexico border area?

On a related note:
The the original print of bottom-most photograph (kingkong1933) Loren has posted of the 1933 O’Brien King King was recently auctioned of in LA for $27,500. I think thats pretty cheap for such an image.

Joan Knox the daughter of Ernst Bachrach sold off some vintage King Kong photos and negatives that her father took on the 1933 set. The image I mention was part of a collection that brought much more money. If you are interested in seeing a cool video of this auction check out “Hollywood Treasures” Episode “Joe Goes Ape” on the Sci Fi channels.

A little note, the flying monsters in Peter Jackson´s adaption of King Kong are no pterosaurs at all. Actually there is not a single pterosaur visible in the whole movie. Those creatures are -according to "The World of Kong - A Natural History of Skull Island" a creature whose ancestors are rodents. Of course this creature, named Terapusmordax obscenus, is completely imaginary, as well as all other creatures in the movie. "The World of Kong" lists also several other strange flying creatures, for example the night stalker, a smaller relative of Terapusmordax or the pugbats, imaginary flying descendents of cynodonts. There is only one single line of pterosaurs remaining on Skull island, but this creatures are comparably small and flightless, and don´t look much like pterosaurs at all.

As much as I would love it to be true, I have problems believing you. There just is no evidence of them alive and kicking today and you could have, as many others, been a victim of a miss ID.

But this “denier” sure hopes he is wrong =)

I don’t care what “skeptics” or as I like to call most of them “deniers” say, I know for a fact that some Pterosaurs are still alive and well. I can’t speak personally on the Kongamato, but i have seen a Pterosaur myself and that’s all the evidence one could ask for. I would love to find another or to travel looking for Cryptids but that will have to wait a long time.
