I'm glad that it looks like the Quetzalcoatlus in Jurassic World Dominion is being hyped as a massive threat because yea Azhdarchidae pterosaurs were the stuff of fucking nightmares

Hey, hey, it's time for yet another #NonDinosaurOfTheWeek!
Today'S NDofW is... Azhdarchidae!
Some species of this pterosaur group were one of the biggest flying creatures to ever exist! Their wingspan could achieve around 10 meters!
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
