Quetzalcoatlus was one of the largest flying animals that ever lived. It was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs. With a wingspan as wide as a small airplane, it could soar over the ancient landscapes of Texas.2 1

Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of about 11 to 12 metres (36 to 39 feet), which is as wide as a small plane.2

It weighed only about 230 kilograms (500 pounds), which is light for its huge size, thanks to hollow bones.2

Quetzalcoatlus could walk on all fours using its wings as front legs, like a bat.2

It lived about 68 to 66 million years ago, right at the end of the age of dinosaurs.1

The first fossil was a single wing bone found by a student named Douglas Lawson in 1971.2

Quetzalcoatlus probably launched into flight by pushing off the ground with its strong front legs, not by jumping with its back legs.1

There might be two species: the giant Q. northropi and a smaller one called Q. lawsoni, which had a wingspan of about 5.5 metres (18 feet).2 1

Mafunso ofunsidwa kwambiri okhudza Quetzalcoatlus

?Was Quetzalcoatlus a dinosaur?

No, Quetzalcoatlus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but was not a dinosaur.2

?How big was Quetzalcoatlus?

It had a wingspan of about 10 to 11 metres (33 to 36 feet), which is as wide as a small airplane. It weighed around 230 kilograms (500 pounds).1 2

?What did Quetzalcoatlus eat?

It most likely hunted small prey on the ground, like storks and ground hornbills do. Some scientists think it also ate small aquatic animals.1

?Could Quetzalcoatlus fly?

Yes, it could fly. It probably launched into the air by pushing off the ground with its strong front legs, using a four-legged takeoff.1

?When did Quetzalcoatlus live?

It lived about 68 to 66 million years ago, at the very end of the Cretaceous period, just before the big extinction that killed the dinosaurs.1 2

?Where was Quetzalcoatlus found?

Its fossils were discovered in Big Bend National Park in Texas, USA, in rocks of the Javelina Formation.1 2

?Was Quetzalcoatlus bigger than T. rex?

Quetzalcoatlus had a much bigger wingspan than T. rex was tall, but T. rex was heavier. Quetzalcoatlus was not a dinosaur, so they are hard to compare directly.1

?Did Quetzalcoatlus have feathers?

No, it did not have feathers. It was covered in hair-like filaments called pycnofibres, which are different from feathers.1

?How did Quetzalcoatlus walk?

It walked on all fours, using its wings as front legs, similar to a bat. It could also walk with a pacing gait.1 2

?Is Quetzalcoatlus the biggest flying animal ever?

It is one of the largest flying animals ever, with a wingspan of about 10 to 11 metres. Some other pterosaurs like Hatzegopteryx were similar in size.1
