What they discovered were the remains of a flying monster that would have stood 18 feet high on the ground and had a wingspan that rivaled the length of the two largest pterosaurs currently known: Quetzalcoatlus, found in Texas in the 1970s, and Hatzegopteryx, found in Romania in the 1990s.

The Mongolian pterosaur has not been declared a new species yet, because of its incomplete remains.

Fortunately for us humans, who would have made for a delightful midday snack, this pterosaur is dead. Long dead. Seventy million years dead.

DAMN!
Imagine the steaks we could make outta that.

I would challenge it to a modern eating contest. Meal is free if you can eat Hillary and Moochelle. It would be sure to barf on the first one.

They’re fun to hunt, but putting out the decoys will wear you out for the day.

...and after gel filtration and gas chromatography analysis, scientists have arrived at the conclusion that, “It tastes just like chicken!”

But seriously, thanks for the link. Very interesting.
