It is not known whether pterosaurs practiced any form of parental care, but their ability to fly as soon as they emerged from the egg and the numerous flaplings found in environments far from nests and alongside adults has led most researchers, including Christopher Bennett and David Unwin, to conclude that the young were dependent on their parents for a relatively short period of time, during a period of rapid growth while the wings grew long enough to fly, and then left the nest to fend for themselves, possibly within days of hatching.

It is likely that, as in other polygynous animals ( in which males compete for association with harems of females ), Pteranodon lived primarily on offshore rookeries, where they could nest away from land-based predators and feed far from shore ; most Pteranodon fossils are found in locations which at the time, were hundreds of kilometres from the coastline.
