Ancient Winged Terror Was One of the Largest Animals to Fly

A new pterosaur found in Mongolia had a 32-foot wingspan and likely feasted on baby dinosaurs.


The fragmentary fossil of a truly enormous pterosaur has been found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. This formidable predator may have had a wingspan of 36 feet—close to the size a small aircraft and rivalling the largest winged reptiles known from Europe and North America.
