A legendary creature possibly referred to as the serpent god in Aztec mythology, Quetzalcoatlus was as tall as a giraffe while roaming on its feet.
Once it took to the sky, its wingspan was from 30-40 feet (10-12 m) – that’s as long as most buildings in Paris are high.
A lizard-like creature, Quetzalcoatlus may also have been what our ancestors referred to as dragons.
