Quetzalcoatlus was a pterosaur that lived approximately 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period. It was one of the largest flying animals of all time, with a wingspan of up to 10 meters (33 feet) and a body length of around 5-6 meters (16-20 feet).
Quetzalcoatlus had a long, slender neck and a large, toothless beak that was adapted for catching fish and other small prey. It is believed to have been a skilled and efficient flyer, using its huge wingspan to soar and glide over vast distances in search of food.
Despite its enormous size, Quetzalcoatlus was actually a relatively lightweight animal, with hollow bones and a body structure that was adapted for flight. It is thought to have been a warm-blooded animal that could maintain a high body temperature and metabolic rate, allowing it to stay airborne for extended periods of time.
Quetzalcoatlus is named after the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent deity that was believed to be a bringer of knowledge and wisdom. The name reflects the majestic and awe-inspiring nature of this giant flying reptile.
