Expeditions for Live Pterosaurs
Pterosaurs Still Living
Some cryptozoologists and other explorers have searched for living pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea and in North America. This is a PSL index of some of those expeditions and others relevant to ropens, etc.

The 1990’s expeditions of Carl Baugh, Paul Nation, and Jim Blume led to the early 21st century expeditions of Whitcomb, Woetzel, Guessman, and (again) Paul Nation. These, in turn, encouraged the 2007 Destination Truth ropen expedition, also in Papua New Guinea. Woetzel, Guessman, and others continued, in mid-2007 with an investigation of a new location in the Western United States; this secret location on the West Coast continued to be used for searching for live pterosaurs, and Scott Norman’s sighting there has encouraged further support for this branch of cryptozoology.
Late in 2017, a native living on the mainland of Papua New Guinea, Rex Yapi Epa, obtained funds for leading a more significant ropen expedition than had ever before been under- taken on Umboi Island. This is planned not just for days or two or three weeks but months. The funding project itself took many months with many of the donors being Americans who had been interested in living- pterosaur investigations for some time. In contrast to previous expeditions on Umboi Island, this one, will have no Americans.
