Quetzalcoatlus on the Wide Plain
The giant flying reptile is standing on level ground with its long neck upright, large beak pointing forward, and wings folded beside its body. Clumps of grass break up the open foreground, and a range of low mountains stretches across the background. The land-based pose shows a different side of an animal best known for its enormous wings.
Surprising Facts About Life on the Ground
Quetzalcoatlus was a pterosaur, not a dinosaur, and evidence suggests that it could move on all four limbs while on land. Its folded wings acted as strong front limbs during walking. Researchers think it may have searched open ground for small animals and other available food.
Realistic Colors for the Plain and Pterosaur
- Quetzalcoatlus body covering: its exact color is unknown; muted brown, tan, gray, or patterned shades are plausible
- Beak: pale tan, horn brown, gray, or darker near the tip
- Head crest: unknown in life, so it may be shown in a natural body shade or a brighter display color
- Grass: green, olive, straw yellow, or dry brown
- Mountains: rocky gray, sandy brown, rust, or muted purple in the distance
