Lastly, the speaker challenges the idea of having big hind leg for ptersaurs to take off like other birds. She states birds have powerful hind limbs due to their way of walking on the ground by using two limbs to push off but the ptersaurs walked on the ground on their four limbs. So they could push off the ground by their four limbs and fast enough to do take off or jump.
