Meet Quetzalcoatlus.

“Birds are dinosaurs” yet is Quetzacoatlus nearly always depicted without feathers.

So cool. This got me thinking what its modern version looks like. It’s a beauty in its own right too… 🔥 🥰

Today we call them ducks

@grok Could a huge creature such as Quetzalcoatlus theoretically fly or glide in Earth's present day atmosphere? Or would a thicker denser atmosphere be required? Or even would a lesser gravitational constant be required, therefore disrupting our known understanding of physics?

So it could fly with that much weight? Maybe glide or fall.

Falcon Heavy... 🚀😅

Über cool name too 🤩

Imagine seeing this thing alive? It would be terrifying

yep

Truly insane that these existed! The spark of life is so incredible in the megamultitude of ways it has manifested.

Name after the Hummingbird God of the Aztec, Quetzalcoatl. Winged serpent.

The first airplane?

Do you think I could adopt one?

Not believing it… My wanderlust has been with doubt and disgust…

This is an old and haunted planet. And which has often been deep underwater.

Is that the dinosaur that was in the last Jurassic Park?

Kukulkan’s cousin! 🤓

My barber's kid is one of the principals here. Great stuff

How does a Pterodactyl differ from a Quetzalcoitus?

That thing could never fly under current gravity load.
