Not all human encounters with live pterosaurs are a pleasant surprise. On rare occasions, a ropen, or kor, or indava (or by whatever name) will attack somebody, and the results are sometimes tragic, at least for the human. Although reports of people being attacked by large flying creatures in the United States, in recent generations, are rare, attacks have been reported in other areas of the world and in earlier times.
Thousands of Americans have witnessed a living pterosaur in the USA. In the great majority of the encounters reported to investigators, no evidence appeared to indicate any aggressive movements of those flying creatures towards any human. On occasion, however, sometimes one of the animals may dive towards a person. That is uncommon, fortunately.
Venomous Rhamphorhynchoid Pterosaur
If Rhamphorhynchoids, at least one species, caused human deaths a few thousand years ago, then maybe similar flying creatures may have venomous bites today. This may relate to some of the human deaths in Papua New Guinea during the past few decades. . . . his nephew died after being attacked by a glee-kee-oyk. The injured boy was carried by the uncle some distance . . . Unfortunately, the boy went into convulsions and died before they reached the clinic.
