45 Things That Are Much Bigger or Smaller Than We Thought

The Quetzalcoatlus Northropi, a colossal airborne predator, stood at the pinnacle of its domain, dwarfing humans with its imposing presence. Often referred to as the ‘Mexican Feathered God,’ this majestic creature soared through the skies during the Maastrichtian Period, preying on the vulnerable and small.

With a remarkable wingspan reaching 36 feet and weighing around 550 pounds, the Quetzalcoatlus commanded the ancient skies with unparalleled might. Its juxtaposition beside a human underscores the relief that the era of dinosaurs, unlike the fictional portrayal in Jurassic Park, remains a distant chapter in Earth’s history, offering awe-inspiring insights into the prehistoric world.
