570-498: A bipedal stance, such as that of Sankar Chatterjee and R.J. Templin in 2004, were heavily reliant on a relatively light weight (about 70 kg (150 lb) in Chatterjee and Templin's case), and even then, struggled to explain how takeoff was achieved. Based on the work of Mark P. Witton and Michael Habib in 2010, it now seems likely that pterosaurs, especially larger taxa such as Quetzalcoatlus , launched quadrupedally, using
665-408: A body mass of 65 kg (143 lb). A complete skull of Quetzalcoatlus is not known, so reconstructions necessarily draw from eight specimens of Q. lawsoni that preserve skull elements. The skull of Q. lawsoni was about 94–96 cm (37–38 in) long. Like other azhdarchoids , Quetzalcoatlus had a long, toothless beak that was comprised largely of the premaxilla and maxilla . At

The smaller specimens are more complete than the Q. northropi holotype, and include four partial skulls, though they are much less massive, with an estimated wingspan of 4.5–5.5 m (15–18 ft). This species was named Q. lawsoni in 2021, in honor of the genus' original describer. An azhdarchid neck vertebra, discovered in 2002 from the Maastrichtian age Hell Creek Formation , may also belong to Quetzalcoatlus . The specimen, BMR P2002.2,

The genus name refers to the Aztec feathered serpent god, Quetzalcōātl .

1615-592: A putative azhdarchiform . In 1975, Douglas Lawson compared the wing bones of Quetzalcoatlus northropi 's holotype to equivalent elements in Dsungaripterus and Pteranodon , and suggested that it represented an individual with a wingspan of around 15.5 m (51 ft), though presented alternative estimates of 11 m (36 ft) and 21 m (69 ft). Estimates put forward in subsequent years varied dramatically, ranging from 5.2–25.8 m (17–85 ft), owing to differences in methodology. From

Field crews from the University of Texas, led by Wann Langston Jr. of the Texas Memorial Museum , investigated the site between 1972 and 1974, and unearthed three fragmentary skeletons of much smaller individuals. In 1975, Lawson announced the original find in an article in Science . At the time, a detailed description was underway, though this never saw publication. Instead, he published

#17327904341972090-647: A short, blunt beak, owing to the attribution of remains from Wellnhopterus , the beak is actually long and slender. The tip is not preserved, so it is not clear how the beak ends. The beak likely had a gape of around 52 degrees. Typically among azhdarchids, the nasoantorbital fenestra is very large, with more than 40% of its height being above the orbit . The orbit is small and obovate (an inverted egg shape). Quetzalcoatlus had nine elongated cervical vertebrae that were compressed dorsoventrally (up-and-down), and accordingly better suited to dorsoventral motion than lateral (side-to-side) motion. However, lateral motion

Crawford Greenewalt gave mass estimates of between 30–440 kg (66–970 lb) for Q. northropi , with the former figure assuming a small wingspan of 5.2 m (17 ft). A majority of estimates published since the 2000s have been substantially higher, around 200–250 kg (440–550 lb). In 2021, Kevin Padian and his colleagues estimated that Q. lawsoni would have weighed 20 kg (44 lb). In 2022, Gregory S. Paul estimated that Q. lawsoni had

He can also use
2755-482: A wingspan of around 4.5 m (15 ft). Quetzalcoatlus ' proportions were typical of azhdarchids. It possessed a very long neck and beak, shortened non-wing digits that were well adapted for terrestrial locomotion , and a very short tail. While historical interpretations of Quetzalcoatlus ' diet have ranged from scavenging to skim-feeding like the modern skimmer bird , it is likely that, like other large azhdarchids, Quetzalcoatlus northropi hunted small prey on

6840-469: The base of the beak, formed from the premaxilla, was a small crest.

7220-1108: The clade Azhdarchoidea was defined by David Unwin , and azhdarchids were determined to form a clade with Tapejaridae . Quetzalcoatlus now represents the type genus of the subfamily Quetzalcoatlinae, alongside other very large azhdarchids such as Arambourgiania and possibly Hatzegopteryx , as well as smaller taxa like Zhejiangopterus . Below is a cladogram showing the phylogenetic placement of Quetzalcoatlus within Neoazhdarchia from Andres and Myers (2013).

Q. lawsoni , however, appears to have been associated with alkaline lakes , and a diet of small aquatic invertebrates has been suggested.

7695-572: The name Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni by Brian Andres and (posthumously) Wann Langston Jr . Quetzalcoatlus northropi has gained fame as a candidate for the largest flying animal ever discovered, though estimating its size has been difficult due to the fragmentary nature of its type specimen. Wingspan estimates over the years have ranged from 5.2–25.8 m (17–85 ft), though this has more recently been narrowed down to around 10–11 m (33–36 ft), based on extrapolations from more complete azhdarchids. The smaller and more complete Q. lawsoni had

Lawson , who was then a geology graduate student from the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas, Austin. He would then go on to become

8170-467: The subfamily Azhdarchinae within Pteranodontidae to comprise Azhdarcho , Quetzalcoatlus , and Titanopteryx . Unaware of the subfamily, in the same year, Kevin Padian erected the family Titanopterygiidae to accommodate Quetzalcoatlus and Titanopteryx . Two years later, in 1986, he synonymised the two taxa and elevated Azhdarchinae to family level, forming the family Azhdarchidae. In 2003,
8265-478: The team in the wake of the Neo-Deboth Army's attack. The primary Kyoryuger Brave's transformation device is the Gabugaburivolver ( ガブガブリボルバー , Gabugaburiborubā ) firearm and a new set of Zyudenchi which correspond to their respective Zyudenryu.

8455-633: The torso, forearm and manus . Terrestrial locomotion in Quetzalcoatlus likely involved a pacing gait, with both limbs on a given side of the body moving at the same time. The forelimbs were probably lifted off the ground first to avoid collision with the hindlimbs. When describing Quetzalcoatlus in 1975, Douglas Lawson and Crawford Greenewalt opted not to assign it to a clade more specific than Pterodactyloidea , though similarities to Titanopteryx (later Arambourgiania ) were noted earlier that year. In 1984, Lev Alexandrovich Nessov erected
8550-444: The world. When his journey brought him into a battle against a group of Zorima , Daigo received his Gaburivolver from Torin and battled Gabutyra for a month to tame him.

As Kyoryu Red, Daigo wields
8645-410: Was assumed that the smaller specimens of Quetzalcoatlus were juvenile or subadult forms of the larger type. Later, when more remains were found, it was realized they could have been a separate species. This possible second species from Texas was provisionally referred to as a Quetzalcoatlus sp. by Alexander Kellner and Wann Langston Jr. in 1996, indicating that its status was too uncertain to give it
8740-405: Was not properly described and diagnosed until 2021, and until then, the status of the genus Quetzalcoatlus was noted as problematic. Mark Witton et al . noted that the holotype of Q. northropi represents elements which are typically considered undiagnostic to generic or specific level and that this complicates interpretations of azhdarchid taxonomy. For instance, Witton et al . suggested that
8835-613: Was noted. However, Witton et al . also noted that the skull material of Hatzegopteryx and then-unnamed Q. lawsoni differ enough that they cannot be regarded as the same taxon. These issues could only be resolved by Q. northropi being demonstrated as a valid taxon and its relationships with Q. lawsoni being investigated. An additional complication to these discussions is the likelihood that huge pterosaurs, such as Q. northropi , could have made transcontinental flights, suggesting that locations as disparate as North America and Europe could have shared giant azhdarchid species. Initially, it
8930-443: Was recovered accidentally when it was included in a field jacket prepared to transport part of a Tyrannosaurus rex specimen. Despite their association, the vertebra shows no evidence of scavenging. The bone came from an individual azhdarchid pterosaur estimated to have had a wingspan of 5–5.5 m (16–18 ft). However, while initially assigned to Quetzalcoatlus , Brian Andres and Wann Langston Jr (2021) regarded BMR P2002.2 as
9025-461: Was still extensive, and the neck and head could swing left and right about 180 degrees. The vertebrae at the base of the neck and the pectoral girdle are poorly preserved. The first four dorsal vertebrae are fused into a notarium . Most other dorsal vertebrae are absent, except for those integrated into the sacrum . Seven true sacral vertebrae are preserved. No caudal vertebrae are preserved. The pelvis of one Q. lawsoni specimen (TMM 41954-57)
