About Quetzalcoatlus
The largest flying animal ever known with a 10-meter wingspan. A pterosaur, not a dinosaur. Stood as tall as a giraffe on the ground. Could likely fly for days covering 10,000+ miles. May have launched itself into the air using all four limbs in a catapult motion. Ate small dinosaurs and scavenged.
