As she lands, she halts flight with 2-3 powerful downbeats before dropping to the ground, before folding her wings and adopting a tall, narrow quadrupedal posture. The idea that #azhdarchids could do this was put forward by Witton & Naish in 2008 ... h

Our current understanding of the giant #azhdarchid #pterosaur #Quetzalcoatlus (wingspan 10m) is that it was highly proficient on the ground and used 'terrestrial stalking'. The case for this was put forward by @MarkWitton & myself in 2008, here... http

Our opening salvo was the 2008 @PLOSONE paper, which laid out the case for TERRESTRIAL STALKING as the primary way of life for these animals. At this point, our argument was that all #azhdarchids were - more or less! - alike in ecology and bauplan... https

@CHSommers Yes! That's Quetzalcoatlus northropi, one of the largest animals ever to fly. At its biggest, it had a 30-foot wingspan or so and weighed 550 lbs, if not more. https://t.co/ymp1Ce1p2y It probably spent much of its time stalking prey on land, li
