@Mech_LN They didn't have much feathers but Azhdarchids walked on their wings! And the Caihong Juji had very armlike wings
Aerotitan
A large azhdarchid with a 5 meter wing span, the first one found in its country, little is known about it since its known form extremely fragmentary remains
Alt: Named after its possible large size, its believed azhdarchids fed in a way similar to modern herons
Pachycephalosaurus for the Capricornus was also obvious : small plant-eater, strong personality, probably prone to fighting head on. They didn’t ram into each other though, and fought more like giraffes!
Quetzalcoatlus is one of those giant Pterosaurs called Azhdarchids!
And, OK, a 5 m wingspan is not that exciting when we know of 10 m wingspan azhdarchids, but in 1852 this was a big deal: not only a flying reptile almost 2x larger than any living bird, but the largest flying animal known at that time. P. cuvieri was a real game-changer.
@everwalrus Azhdarchids in general can fuck right off. What the hell are you trying to accomplish with this
@oligarca_el @Strangeandlosts the head is a little too large in the model from what I've heard, but azhdarchids like that did exist and could have carried their weight thanks to their very light skulls and hollow bones
@magneticsharkz Plus, we still have compelling evidence of gigantic, 8-9 m wingspan toothy sea-going pterosaurs. Next to azhdarchids, they're the biggest pterosaurs of all - there's plenty of real science on these guys to get excited about. (Average-sized 5-ish m wingspan Cimoliopterus below.)
Once upon a time, people promoted the idea that Quetzalcoatlus looked like this... https://t.co/WB1NSII1kl #pterosaurs #azhdarchids #TetZoo
By c 2015 it had become obvious that some giant #azhdarchids - like Hatzegopteryx from Romania - were also 'thick necked'. This has major implications for behaviour and feeding behaviour. Our 2017 paper on this appeared in @thePeerJ .... https://t.co/azYXQCldHo
@Fantasticaltwts Giant azhdarchids were seriously huge - giraffe-sized animals with wingspans comparable to small aircraft. Baby sauropods were pretty small - maybe a metre long, at most?
AZHDARCHID EATS SMALL SAUROPOD became a meme thanks to our 2008 paper, but - as with all memes - its popularity was accidental. In the Before Times (2005 - 2007) I was drawing azhdarchids eating all sorts of stuff: fish, crocs, baby tyrannosaurs etc. (See archaic art below) https://t.co/ZACkIzKjsn
Chaoyangopterus
Its classification history has been complicated, it was believed be closely related to nyctosaurus and more recently to azhdarchids but in its own group
ALT: named after a city on china, known as a "fossil city" for its many important paleontological discoveries
I did this recon of Cryodrakon a while back but I realized I never showed it. Cryodrakon was a large Azhdarchid pterosaur from late Cretaceous North America. I like to call these large azhdarchids Gitaffe-storks. And yes, yes they could fly. #paleoart #sciart #PterosaurPtuesday
Rooting through old files yesterday I found azhdarchid artwork from the first two years of my PhD (2005-2006). The wading scenes reflect what @TetZoo and I figured azhdarchids did before originating 'terrestrial stalking'. The skim-feeding image was not in support of the idea.
The landstriders from the Dark Crystal show extensive propatagium...is it possible they evolved from flying ancestor, similar to how speculative flightless pterosaurs could have evolved from azhdarchids?

Azhdarchids by @MarkWitton
This is a big deal because, in > 200 years of research, we've never had any hints about how non-pterodactyloids walked. All trackways known to date belong to pterodactyloids: short-tailed, long-armed pterosaurs of Late Jurassic and Cretaceous age. (Walking azhdarchids pictured)
Elanodactylus has some unique skeletal features among pterosaurs and evolved long neck vertebrae convergent with another group, the azhdarchids. https://t.co/PyfxWV07cv
