Geocache Description:

Come for a walk and enjoy the Dinosaur Trail

 

This cache is named after Pteranodon



Pteranodon were massive flying reptiles that lived near the coast, and probably feed off of creatures that lived in the sea, such as fish and squid.

Pteranodon's wings were as long as 35 feet from tip to tip, making it as large as a hang glider.

This wing-span is longer than any known bird. Pteranodons had hollow bones, were lightly built, had almost no tail, and small bodies; they may have had fur. They had large brains and good eyesight. Some pteranodons had long, light-weight, bony crests on their heads that may have acted as a rudder or stabilizer when flying, or may have been a sexual characteristic. They had no teeth.

This reptile was not a dinosaur, but lived during the same time period.

Cache is located in Petrie Park and can be easily accessed via Price Street, Petrie Park Road, Hospital Road, Florence Street or Carter Road. 

Footbridges traverse the park and walking or bike-riding is a good way to see it. 

Dogs are allowed to run around leash-free on the playing field, but only when it is not in use. They must be on a leash in the rest of the park and on footbridges.

Wildlife thrives in Petrie Park, so make occasional stops around the creek and watch out for some interesting native animals. Water dragons and fresh water turtles inhabit the creek and its surroundings. A one-way walk through the park takes fifteen to twenty minutes. There are rest areas in and around the park and there are also good spots to have a picnic.

A camoed magnatic nano is what you seek. 

The cache contains a logbook only so please bring your own pen. 

Good luck and happy caching
