Quetzalcoatlus: the largest flying creature ever to have lived.

Quetzalcoatlus was a massive pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It was as tall as a giraffe, with a wingspan the size of a Cessna-- a towering, beautiful creature.

As of this writing, its real-life coloration is still unknown, so I've modeled this pattern after the gorgeous red-and-white life-size Quetzalcoatlus made for the Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Center in Kuwait. It's a breathtaking piece of sculpture that greatly inspired my depiction here.
