    I can't freakin' believe I saw that picture HERE! I have been searching for it for years. There is a persistent story that a few pteronadons survive in the desert southwest. David Hatcher Childress references this photo in one of his books, but says that while a few folks say they remember seeing it, no one can say where it can be found. The thing is, I remember this photo from some old desert magazine from many years ago, so I knew it existed. And here it is, of all places.

    vaping has been an amazing adventure.

    The internet suggests it's a fake (they're posed like they shot the beast down). As is this one:

    Supposedly, there was an article in the 26 April 1890 edition of the Tombstone, Arizona Epitaph about two cowboys shooting a creature with leathery wings like a bat and a head like an alligator. They dragged it back to town and nailed it up to a barn, its wingspan covering the barn's entire length. It may be related to a similar hoax about shooting down a Thunderbird that supposedly haunts the American southwest.
