⚡ What its two abilities do
Sky Reptile: every 11 minutes 6 seconds at base weight, 3 random fruit get Windstruck (×2), and each has an 18.2% chance to get Twisted (×5) too. The wiki says Windstruck plus Twisted merges into Tempestuous (×12 on the wiki's mutation chart; the Pterodactyl's trivia says ×19). One quirk: it can't add Twisted to a fruit that already had Windstruck.
Air Time (always on): you jump 14% higher.
Though real pterosaurs weren't dinosaurs, the wiki counts it as a Dinosaur-type pet.
