Flying Wild Pteranodon Easter Egg (with videos from BestInSlot)

So, I have since learned a couple weeks ago that there are hidden occurrences where literal flying wild Pteranodons fly across the map of Isla Nublar (1993). It was posted by someone on Reddit before being rediscovered by Conor (BestInSlot) some time later. Former Frontier community manager, Steggs, confirmed this is an easter egg added to the game.

Then, just today, he posted a video of him creating his JPOG style JW era park, where he discovered a Coastal patterned Pteranodon flying across the map on Sanctuary!

(He found it at 8:37 of the video.)

So this brings the questions of how often do they spawn, do they appear in every single map, is it a feature introduced in Update 1.12 or is it a feature exclusive to the Return to Jurassic Park DLC, and do the Pteranodons for each map have a specific skin applied to each individual or is it randomized?

Who else found a wild Pteranodon or more in their game in what other map? I, myself, have not seen any yet.

I saw a few of them flying across Isla Sorna in formation. I remember thinking it was cool that pteranodons were flying around, but they were small so I couldnt see them well. Unfortunately I was stressfully dealing with some infections and the aftermath of a tornado that left several dilophosaurs running wild at the time so I didn’t have the time to zoom in on them.

Ultimately I chalked them off as birds, but I always wondered if they were actually dinosaurs.

Thanks for the confirmation.
