Quetzalcoatlus

Quetzalcoatlus is an extinct genus of azhdarchid pterosaur that lived in Texas during the Late Cretaceous period. It was named after the Aztec God Quetzalcoatl. Among the pterosaurs, Quetzalcoatlus and its azhdarchid relatives were uniquely adapted for standing/walking as opposed to exclusively flying. Quetzalcoatlus was notably one of the largest flying animals in history and king of the pterosaurs.
