Amigurumi crochet pattern to make this super cool prehistoric lizard dinosaur ! ^^

It is said that when Albert’s great-great-grandfather was still a kid, he was absolutely fascinated by pterodactyls. He used to climb very high in the gigantic trees of the equatorial forest to get a sense of what it would feel like to see the world from the sky. As he grew a little bit older, he started jumping from branch to branch just to enjoy that brief moment when his legs weren’t touching anything else but air. He was the first of Albert’s ancestors to show that passion for the sky, but he certainly wasn’t the last, and as time went by, some of them started to grow feather-like structures on their back, which helped them jump further. And that’s how Albert became the first lizard to ever fly a distance of 8.54 meter!
