PTEROSAURS

A reptile five-hundred-pound
Long ago flew around.
If it had that much paunch,
How did that thing launch?
Its method has now been found.

What did scientists just discover?
A four-legged, jump-frog maneuver.
Only the vampire bat
Does a trick like that
With forelegs as main off-shovers.

It's not the method of a bird.
'Twasn't built like a bird.
'Twas a lot more gross
Than the albatross,
The largest flying bird.
