Today, P. cuvieri has its own genus, Cimoliopterus. We recognise it as an ornithocheiromorph, a long-winged, ocean-going species closely related to Ornithocheirus and Anhanguera. It was among the last of the toothed pterosaurs. But can we still consider it a giant?

P. cuvieri should thus be remembered as the actual first pterosaurian 'giant', a species that originated the concept of supersized extinct fliers. Saying the more widely popularised Pteranodon was the first giant is a claim jump: it simply wasn't.

It's New Year's Eve, so obviously time to talk about the discovery of giant pterosaurs. Most of us think of one animal as _the_ first giant pterosaur: the 7 m wingspan, North American Pteranodon. BUT - what if I told you this wasn't the first pterosaur giant known? Thread...

Some more continuous line drawings with ink-based watercolours! This time pterosaurs!

Really enjoying this style of drawing. Fast, effective and relaxing!

Do you know those terrible looking flightless pterosaurs from World of Kong? I think they are more serviceable as an evolved version of the flappy handed aquatic compsognathus paleoart meme.

You know what?! You really just might!
I remember when pterosaurs looked like this, and as a kid I really disliked them because of it . But now, with a more realistic and believable design, I adore them a lot!
