       @johnWhat I really love about pterosaurs is that their picnofibers closely resemble feathers. Makes you wonder if feathers is basal to most of the archosaurs...

       @john I wonder how small such a creature could make itself if it was, perhaps very scared?Maybe the adults have little to fear, but the juveniles would need to hide or blend in to the environment somehow.

       @john I love the shading on this one.the pose of Quetzalcoatlus makes me wonder if azhdarchoids did ballistic feeding like hornbills do.

       @john @dave_hone I’d like to propose that everyone to-date has been wrong. They actually launched monopedially; Karate Kid style.
