Why did pterodactyl go extinct?

Pterodactyls, along with other pterosaurs, went extinct around 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. This mass extinction was likely caused by a combination of factors, including climate change, volcanic activity, and the impact of a large asteroid. These events led to widespread environmental disruptions, such as extreme temperature fluctuations and reduced food sources, ultimately leading to the demise of many species, including the pterodactyls.
