Hatzegopteryx

It had a wingspan of about 10 to 12 meters (33 to 39 feet), making it one of the biggest pterosaurs ever.1

Yes, it could fly. Its wing bones were similar to other flying pterosaurs, and its skull was lightweight thanks to a spongy internal structure.14

It was a predator that probably ate dwarf dinosaurs like titanosaurs and iguanodontians, and it could tackle prey too big to swallow whole.1

No, it is a pterosaur, which is a flying reptile and not a dinosaur.1

It lived about 72 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.1

Its fossils were found in Transylvania, Romania, on what was once Hațeg Island.1

Its weight has been estimated at around 250 kilograms (550 pounds).4

It was about the same size or slightly smaller. Both had wingspans around 10 to 12 meters, but Hatzegopteryx had a shorter, stronger neck.1

Its short, thick neck was very strong and helped it hunt large prey, like dwarf dinosaurs, by catching them.15

Nobody knows for sure, but it probably spent most of its time on land hunting, like other azhdarchid pterosaurs.1
