Pelicans for humans

Woah - I had never heard of the Hatzegopteryx. I spent some time today watching videos of this guy today (and its relatives, Quetzalcoatlus and Argentinosaurus). They are really cool.

I know that there is a lot of arguments about what dinosaurs actually looked like - I hope that in the videos they make these guys scarier than they actually were… This video is especially: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYniD_MQ7Rg

Personally, this style (from a great PBS Eons video) is my favorite interpretation:

And artists apparently like to emphasize that these guys could eat small dinosaurs!

Whoa… that damn thing could eat a horse.

“Hatzegopteryx belonged to the pterosaur family, which were previously thought to only eat smaller prey. But researchers have now realized that they could eat other dinosaurs and animals as big as a horse.”
