Geocache Description:

Here is another cache that my brother created for us.  Rightfully named, pterodactyl, do to the green container that you will find in the underbrush.  Located in the South Branch Wildlife Management Area, along with a few other caches.  Parking is nearby but there are no marked trails to get to this cache.  There maybe some bushwhacking required in the summer and wear blaze orange in the winter being that hunting is allowed.    Hope you enjoy this one!

The FTF prize is a flashlight/laser pointer. We also added other swag and trade items for the kids.

Pterodactyl
Any member of the pterosaur suborder Pterodactyloidea, known from Late Jurassic and Cretaceous fossils (159–65 million years ago) in eastern Africa and Europe. Members of the typical genus, Pterodactylus, ranged from the size of a sparrow to that of an albatross. Pterodactyls had slender, delicate teeth that were angled forward (possibly for use as straining devices), long metacarpal bones, and a short tail. They were probably able gliders but not efficient as active fliers, and they apparently lacked feathers. Unlike the archaeopteryx, the pterodactyl was not an ancestor of the birds.
