prehistoric bird facts cause I is bored

The Quetzalcoatlus was the largest animal of prehistoric time with the height of 18 feet and where huge flying creature but the mostly likely spent most of there time of the ground watching out for prey to stab to death with there sharp beak. It also was not classified a dinosaur but a flying reptile similar to a pterodactyl but not extremely similar it was among the largest pterosaurs as well! There skeletons where incomplete though so we can't determine its true size. Also even though it was a fear apex predator it also scavenged as well mostly for corpses of dinosaurs preferably bigger ones such as the tyranosaur which was one of its only natural predators but they usually where able to overpower the tyrannosaurs.  the Quetzalcoatlus also had a well cousin I guess called the  Hatzegopteryx which was definitely a bit shorter and more stocky but was also a flying reptile they aren't completely closely related though since they are in different species the Quetzalcoatlus being a giant toothless pterosaurs meanwhile the hatzegopteryx is a genus of azhdarchid pterosaurs
