Ahools are giant carnivorous bats with 10-foot wingspans believed to inhabit rainforests in Java, Indonesia. According to eyewitnesses, they swoop down to snatch up humans with their claws & devour them. Some believe they're descended from pterosaurs.

Pterosaur of the day!
Quetzalcoatlus northropi is a species of large azdarchid pterosaur from late Cretaceous North America. It is among the largest animals to ever fly, only outsized by other large azdarchids like arambourgiania

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.
