A Quetzalcoatlus Flying Over Prehistoric Savannas
Quetzalcoatlus was one of the largest flying animals known to have ever existed. Gliding high over inland plains covered in cycads and ancient tree species, this giant pterosaur scanned the open landscape below for small terrestrial animals and food sources.
Life on the Ancient Plains
Unlike many marine pterosaurs, Quetzalcoatlus spent considerable time in terrestrial ecosystems far from ocean coastlines. Their long legs and sturdy wing joints allowed them to walk efficiently on land as well as ride thermal air currents above vast savanna habitats.
Real Colors of Quetzalcoatlus and Prehistoric Vegetation
- Quetzalcoatlus skin and pycnofibers: Muted tan, sandy brown, or gray coat with dark wing membranes
- Beak and head crest: Earthy orange, dull red, or yellow tones
- Cycad foliage: Stiff palm-like fronds in deep green, olive, and golden yellow
- Savanna ground cover: Dry beige, tan soil, and pale green vegetation
