Hatzegopteryx

Hatzegopteryx is a large flying carnivore. Though a skilled flyer, it prefers to engage in grounded combat, pecking victims with its massive beak.

Description

With a gargantuan skull and wings spanning 30 feet in width, Hatzegopteryx is one of the largest pterosaurs to have ever existed. Despite its giant appearance, it was a lightweight creature with hollow bones.

Paleo Info

Hatzegopteryx ("Hațeg basin wing") is a genus of azhdarchid pterosaur found in the late Maastrichtian deposits of the Densuș Ciula Formation, an outcropping in Transylvania, Romania. It is known only from the type species, Hatzegopteryx thambema, named by Buffetaut et al. in 2002 based on parts of the skull and humerus.

Additional specimens, including a neck vertebra, were later placed in the genus, representing a range of sizes. The largest of these remains indicate it was among the biggest pterosaurs. the average adult Hatzegopteryx was 4 meters tall, had a wingspan of 10 meters and weighed 350 kg. Hatzegopteryx belongs to the family Azhdarchidae which is apart of the group of Pterosaurs Azhdarchoidea.
