pterosaurs.

A man aged 29 was arrested on 27 December after he crashed his car into a streetlight pole in Wenatchee, Washington, at 11.20pm. Witnesses told police he had been driving down Wenatchee Avenue and drifted into the wrong lane, against oncoming traffic. When police asked him what caused the accident, he apparently replied with a single word: “pterodactyl”. It was not said if he was tested for drugs.

From the same article:

The story of a wounded pterodactyl killed by cowboys that appeared in the Epitaph news­paper in Tombstone, Arizona, in 1890 was almost certainly a tall tale.

Tall tale my ass.
