The most recent version of the giant pterosaur.
The Quetzalcoatlus belonged to a group of pterosaurs with unusually long necks, a biological characteristic seen with unusual regularity in prehistoric animals. Perhaps its most famous aspect is its size, with some specimens having a wingspan of 10 meters. This reconstruction is a vast improvement over Carnegie's first pterosaur, and has a wingspan of 18 centimeters. Carnegie's original Quetzalcoatlus was predominantly grey, while this latest revision is a vibrant shade of orange.
