They see the portal.

In the meantime, we see a pterosaur see them get on the roof.

Pterosaur, while they're sitting there arguing about who's going to go through the portal, pterosaur flies over and lands on chimney.

Dave HoneHOST
So you've got kind of both options there.
Dave HoneHOST
Bats fly fine with big holes in their wings, but also that tear can't spread very much.
Dave HoneHOST
Pterosaurs are probably more vulnerable to that, but then their membrane's probably stiffer already and thicker and stronger because it doesn't have that bony support, so maybe it's more resistant to tearing.
Dave HoneHOST
And then if there's this trailing edge tendon or trailing edge stiffening, that would stop some tearing as well.
Dave HoneHOST
So my guess is they probably didn't tear that much, and when they did, it wasn't that bad and therefore it didn't mess them up that much.
