      Mega pterodactyl

      Their skeletons are fucking spooky to see in real life. Imagine what it felt like when they took off. They’d fucking run too.

      Dinosaurs are cool

        Dinosaurs are cool

        Even though they lived alongside each other, pterosaurs weren’t dinosaurs

      Quetzalcoatlus northropi is the scariest dinosaur I’ve ever seen.

        I can only imagine what those huge beaks were for. Like diving from the sky at some prey, simply punching it straight through it like a huge spear.

            We scared up a Blue Heron at the swamp last month. Seen plenty of them from a slight distance. They are monsters up close.

          they’re giant chopsticks, the image in the OP shows how it’d probably look as they walk around picking unsuspecting lizards from the ground.

      Check out the show Prehistoric Planet. There’s an episode all about them. The entire show is great and there is a new third season coming out soon.
