MOTW- Mama Pteranodon

 

When the Friendly Tribe runs out of food, they set out to find some.  After some trials, they find a giant egg.  The Hostile Tribe, on a similar mission, runs into them and takes the egg.  They soon regret that, as the mother of the egg, a wonderful looking Pteranodon longinceps chases them to retrieve said egg.  This is hands down the best stop-motion pterosaur that has ever been portrayed on film.  It just looks magnificent.

She does not get as much personality as the other prehistoric critters, but she has the shortest appearance in the movie.  You can purchase a lovely Blu Ray of the movie Caveman (1981) if you want to see her in action.
