Size comparison: Quetzalcoatlus vs Pteranodon

Size comparison between quetzalcoatlus and pteranodon.

Both of these animals are pterosaurs. They could not mix because the quetzalcoatlus appeared 22 million years after the pteranodon. These two pterodactyls existed in the same place, in North America. Over 150 species of pterosaurs have been discovered. While the pteranodon mainly fished for fish on the coast, the quetzalcoatlus was found in semi-arid plains, so it is assumed that it was a scavenger, it scavenged meat from the carcasses of titanosaurs such as Alamosaurus, they probably hunted also small animals.
