Look up and read the article "Pterosaur Windsurfed Across Surface of Prehistoric Seas" in the blogs section of www.discovery.com.
Remember, this species made it through about 150 or more million years of existence, and humans have not really made it through 10,000 years of "civilization." That's not my point in referring the article (I'm just a dino fan like many others) but it never hurts to keep things in perspective how well "dumb" animals have thrived through the eons.
