Giant Pterosaur Resting in a Rocky Canyon
A towering Quetzalcoatlus stands on all four limbs at the bottom of a rugged canyon. The surrounding landscape features steep rock cliffs and a petrified tree trunk resting on the canyon floor.
Adaptations of the Largest Flying Reptile
Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan comparable to a small airplane, making it one of the largest flying animals known to science. Unlike many smaller pterosaurs, evidence suggests it spent significant time walking across dry land to hunt small vertebrates. Steep inland canyons provided thermal air currents that helped massive pterosaurs launch into the air.
