This Flying Dinosaur Was PURE Nightmare Fuel...
The subject of today's video is Hatzegopteryx, a gigantic azhdarchid pterosaur that lived sixty six million years ago, in the final act of the Late Cretaceous. Hateg Island, the only place where its fossils have been found, no longer exists as an island, but as part of the Eastern European nation of Romania, which is where our story takes place. Today, we will be exploring the life, discovery and paleoenvironment of one of pre-history's most bizarre apex predators, taking to the ancient skies of one of the strangest ecosystems the world has ever seen. Sit back and relax as we take you back through time to meet Hatzegopteryx; one of the biggest flying animals ever to live on Planet Earth.
