What does Texas have to do with extant pterosaurs? A lot.
Not only do eyewitnesses report apparent living pterosaurs in Texas, but
two Texans are pioneers in this cryptozoological investigation. Carl Baugh, founder of the Creation Evidence Museum (Glen Rose),
and his associate, Paul Nation (who once worked for the museum) began the expeditions in Papua New Guinea that eventually resulted
in Nation's video footage of the apparent bioluminescence of one or two of the giant creatures. These animals are generally called
"ropens."
But wait a minute . . . Didn't pterosaurs all die out millions of years ago? Aren't all dinosaurs and pterosaur extinct?
If you believe everything textbooks declare about evolution, extant (living) pterosaurs seem too incredible. But most of those few
cryptozoologists who have investigated the reports of living pterosaurs---these are creationists, not evolutionists. And the Genesis
account of the salvation of animal species (on the Ark of Noah) inspires the creationists with hope that the amazing creatures
(called by many "pterodactyls") are not extinct but still living and still flying---in Texas and elsewhere.
Recent investigations suggest
that some living pterosaurs eat bats and/or birds at night. Pterosaur extinction is for the birds.
