Dino-a-day: Quetzalcoatlus

All of the dinosaurs from Venture Dinosauria lived during the cretaceous period in North America. The cretaceous spanned 80 million years and not all of these dinosaurs lived in tandem, but they do represent a fairly broad cross section of the larger creatures that lived during this period.

Yesterday we kicked things off with Deinonychus. Next up, Quetzalcoatlus:

Quetzalcoatlus was the largest flying creature to ever live. It had a wingspan of over 30 feet. Recent research suggests that Quetzalcoatlus was not a fisher or wader, but in fact roamed the prairies like a giraffe, catching small prey in his beak.

    Except for Stegosaurus.

    And some research does suggest that Quetzalcoatlus has been dethroned. Hatzegopteryx seems to be the new king of the pterosaurs in most people’s books.
