@RobertClarkphoto Nearly as tall as a giraffe and with the wingspan of an F-16 fighter, Quetzalcoatlus northropi was one of the largest flying animals of all time. This life-size model, being painted by Jim Burt at Blue Rhino Studio in Minneapolis, is bound for a cultural center in Kuwait. This photo was originally published in "Why Pterosaurs Were the Weirdest Wonders on Wings," in November 2017. A post shared by National Geographic (@natgeo) on Dec 11, 2017 at 4:47pm PST
