Pterodactyls glide over Fossil Ridge on the warm air rising from the valley, and they always announce their landings. Incoming!
Laying her egg: “Incoming!”
Once it's laid: “Direct hit!”
A baby's first words: “Wheee!”
The six Pterodactyl babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Dinosaur Valley habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Terry
Pterodactyl · Common
Playful
Favourite activity: Looping over Fossil Ridge
Terry loves the sky above Fossil Ridge. He loops, dives and spins over the valley all afternoon, shouting 'Wheee!' at the top of his voice. When he finally lands, he's dizzy, happy and ready to go again.
“Loops before lunch, loops after lunch. Very fond of loops.”
Secret: He has never told anyone that loops make him a little queasy.

Zephyr
Frost Pterodactyl · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Curious
Favourite activity: Riding warm air from the springs
Zephyr has worked out that warm air rising from the Steaming Springs can carry her higher than flapping ever could. She rides the warm currents in lazy circles, her frosty wings shining against the sky, wondering how high she could go.
“A scientist of the skies. She explained it all to me. I nodded wisely.”
Secret: She keeps a record of how high she gets each day.

Wingnut
Shadow Pterodactyl · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Mischievous
Favourite activity: Dive-bombing the pond
Wingnut's favourite game is dive-bombing the pond. She folds her wings, drops like a stone and pulls up just in time, showering everyone below. Her shadowy wings make her almost invisible until the splash.
“Responsible for most of the valley's unexpected splashes.”
Secret: She plans every dive on a little map drawn in the sand.

Skye
Golden Pterodactyl · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Shy
Favourite activity: Flying high where it's quiet
Skye flies higher than any baby in the valley, but not to show off. Up there, it's quiet. On bright mornings her feathers catch the light like the Golden Dawn, and she likes to circle alone, watching the world below.
“She prefers the high, quiet places. A Keeper understands.”
Secret: She's sure that once, from up there, she saw the Great Hatchery Hall.

Glide
Rainbow Pterodactyl · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Friendly
Favourite activity: Giving piggyback flights
Glide gives piggyback flights. Any baby who wants to see the valley from above can climb on her back for a slow, gentle loop over Fossil Ridge. Her rainbow wings make the ride extra special.
“Kind wings. The little ones queue for her every morning.”
Secret: She has flown every baby in Dinosaur Valley except Tiny. She's working on it.

Swoop
Champion Pterodactyl · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Clumsy
Favourite activity: Crash landings
Swoop is a wonderful flyer and a terrible lander. On his Champion day he crash-landed straight into the stage curtains, and he lands the same way every day: in a heap, wings over his head.
“Graceful in the air. On the ground, less so.”
Secret: He's been practising his landings on the softest ferns in Fern Hollow.
Did you know? Pterosaurs like Pterodactylus weren't dinosaurs: they were flying reptiles that lived alongside them, with wings of skin stretched from one very long finger.
