    There has never been any evidence to support the idea, however, since dinosaurs have been extinct for such a long time, we have no way of knowing for sure of the internal workings of the dinosaurs. An educated guess would suggest no but it is equally likely that Pterdactyl's did breathe fire, we'll never know.

    To breath fire indicates that flames would need to go into the lungs and that would kill any living creature. If any creature's breath comprised of flammable gas then it would need to be ignited on exit from the mouth so would need a source of heat or flame. Pterodactyls were more bird than dinosaur and would need oxygen to fuel the muscles that activate the wings. Breathing fire would be counter productive. The stories about dragons are just that, stories, made up by medieval story tellers to captivate gullible and willing audiences.

    There are no breeds of fire breathing animals, meaning the Pterodactyl does not breathe fire.

    Being a smartass and answering this as sarcastic as I can would be fun, but no, there is no proof that pterodactyls breathed fire.

    The only thing that ever breathed fire were dragons.. and there not around anymore if they existed(To this day, i don't know if they existed or not, I've researched and stuff and the closest thing to a dragon is the komodo dragon.. which is also close to a dinosaur)
