Hahaha it does look like a pterodactyl!

Sand will do that...be patient with it and do a couple of big water changes and the cloudiness will clear up. It is a somewhat frustrating substrate though; if it's a really fine sand it will cloud your water for a few hours any time you disturb it much. Home Depot also carries a small natural colored gravel that is about the same price as the sand; you could mix some of that in. I've done that before and it's pretty good looking.
