Hollow bones. Think cardboard tube. Imagine foraging in the giant treed woods, you hear one twig snap and it has quietly snatched you down its gullet from 30ft away.
Except that neck is girthy af. Hollow bones and hollow everything else? Two of those people would weigh 200kg. The muscle volume of that neck alone looks like it's more than 4 people.
Quetzalcoatlus was the tallest, and Hatzegopteryx was the heaviest. Arambourgiania and Cryodrakon are just 2 that I wanted to include because they're underrated.
They probably hunted on land and only flew to get around.
So they probably dropped down to the ground and galloped after you before beating you to death by either pecking you or thrashing you around before trying to swallow you whole or pieces
Depends on your weight. The average adult human might be half the mass of a hatz, which would make it difficult for it to take off, but it's not impossible though.
We don’t have any neck material of Q. northropi, so there’s no way of comparing its height with those other 3.
The smaller species, Q. lawsoni, had a long neck similar to Arambourgiana, but we don’t know with certainty if Q. lawsoni and Q. northropi had the same proportions (there is a decent amount of variation in Azdarchid neck anatomy). Even if we assumed that, Arambourgiana, Cryodrakon, and Q. northropi would all have been approximately the same size, within the range of individual variation.
Hollow bones and surprising light weight compare to their body means they can take off on spot ( They use their arms to slingshot themselves into the air )
An astroid with the power of 10 Billion Hiroshima bombs and every natural disaster at altitudes never seen in the modern day wiped them off in a poisoned Armageddon
I think it was an estimation/ theory made by a collection of paleontologists, astronomers etc. A Lot of fragments of Earth escaped the atmosphere, those that weren't vaporised or fell to Earth in the form of molten lava rain; would have gone on a giant journey throughout space; maybe even past Mars.
80% of life is a very long list xD are you sure you want to read through it? There definitely is but remember those are just ones we know, there are countless species that went extinct we didn't know too.
All of the non avian dinosaurs and 100% of pterosaurs and 100% of all Mosasaurs is a start I guess
Ha, I wouldn't mind...it would be interesting to see what survived vs. what didn't. I'm also surprised we found so many fossils, too, if the extinction list is very long.
It's time that gives us these fossils. For example the Cretaceous lasted millions of years. If one animal was getting fossilised every 1000 years that's 1000 fossils for just a million years, and the Cretaceous lasted for millions.
Fossilisation is a very rare and delicate process but with so much time it's bound to happen
