A group of quetzalcoatlus stalking baby sauropods. Mark Witton and Darren Naish source Quetzalcoatlus is a flying reptile, of close relation to pteranodon, that reaches wingspans of 36 feet and act as terrestrial predators, preying upon small animals though they share pteranodon's opportunism. These giraffe-sized pterosaurs also posses a toothless beak that comes to a sharp point. Another feeding behavior they have is they will steal kills from smaller predators and scavenge off of dead creatures.
