Azhdarchid pterosaurs include the largest animals to ever take to the skies with some species exceeding 10 metres in wingspan and 220 kg in mass.
Bloody hell !!
Re: Fossils of giant pterosaurs found in Transylvania
The largest wingspan bird we have now, the albatross 3.6 mt.
and its prehistoric version was 6.4 mt.
so this is 40% bigger than the prehistoric albatross.
You would need a lot of bacon to go with one their eggs hey!lol
in fact you could probally sleep in one.
