'The neck's best thing'
Azhdarchid Pterosaurs, largest flying animals ever, had much longer necks than giraffes! #scientists have just observed a unique structure in #fossil vertebrae which 'spoked volumes' & made them possible.

Hatzegopteryx and Eurazhdarcho from the Hateg Formation! I wanted to paint a nice blue beach, I never did it before. It was fun to do. Hope you like it :)
pterosaurs were around for ~160Myr, and died out in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction 66Mya.
the large Azhdarchidae were doing very well at that time - they were the dominant predators on some island ecosystems - but then being big quickly became very bad

Early on in the production of the #Europasaurus Graphic Novel we still thought our most complete pterosaur might be a very early azhdarchoid, turns out it's something much more basal, but for a short period of time we had a very different idea for this little guy.

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
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
Hatzegopteryx was a large, robust azhdarchid pterosaur who most definitely preyed on probably anything it could seize with its beak with! Though bones are currently only known from Romania (Hateg), it is possible that they roamed throughout other parts of the world!
A wandering #Azhdarchid #pterosaur. I finally got some toned mixed media paper; now I can employ some of the paint I have to play with.
I’ve finally become the PAINT paddock.
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.
Happy to see another addition to the 'terrestrial stalking #azhdarchid eats baby sauropod' meme, initiated by @MarkWitton. And check out these fantastic feathered #theropods... #pterosaurs #dinosaurs #paleoart
