The Largest Pterosaur!
Quetzalcoatl is one of the largest known members of the pterosaur troop.
Quetzalcoatlus is an extinct genus of large pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous of North America. It was a member of the Azhdarchidae, a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long, stiffened necks. It is considered as one of the biggest known pterosaur species, alongside the Hatzegopteryx.

You can also see Quetzalcoatl in pop culture:
-Quetzalcoatlus was the star of the 1986 IMAX movie On the Wing where a half-sized robot version engineered by AeroVironment demonstrated primitive flight.
-It appears in the fourth and final episode of Dinosaur Planet. It lacks pycnofibres and crouched over the ground, unlike the real pterosaur.
-and in the BBC Documentary, Walking with Dinosaurs episode "Death of a Dynasty", but is one of the most inaccurate creatures in it, mostly because it is an edit of Ornithocheirus. The real one had no teeth, a longer neck, had pycnofibres, it walked more upright on the ground, had a large flat crest, and a longer, thicker beak.
