Standing as tall as a giraffe at 16 ft with an astonishing wingspan of up to 36 ft quitzel quattas noopy was one of the largest flying animals to ever exist unlike Birds quel quattas wasn't covered in feathers but in hairlike fuzz and it had a long neck supporting a massive crusted head about 10 ft in length its toothless Peak was perfect for hunting in Marshy areas where it likely prowled for fish and small animals during the M trian age of the crustaceous period roughly 72 to 66 million years ago one of the biggest debates about quetzel quattas is whether it could actually fly given its enormous size many researchers once doubted how a creature so large could get off the ground but recent studies suggest it could indeed take flight likely by leaping over 8 ft into the air and then flapping its powerful Wings once airborn quel quattas could Glide like a condo covering distances up to 400 miles in a single day at speeds of up to 80 mph surprisingly agile despite it size it was an expert glider built for long distance Journeys now imagine if this enormous Stosur hadn't gone extinct and was still flying above us today what would life be like realistically quenzel quis would probably have evolved over millions of years to adapt to Modern ecosystems and competition but for the sake of imagination let's picture it just as it was a prehistoric giant in our modern skies for starters imagine going for a hike near a lake and suddenly seeing the shadow of a creature the size of a small airplane passing overhead these parasaurs would likely stick to Wetlands and rivers using their Keen eyesight and long beaks to scan for fish and small animals for the same reason farmers near marshy areas might find these creatures an occasional nuisance as they swoop down to snack on fish in their ponds or inspect fields for other Tasty Bites thankfully they' probably keep away from humans quel quarless wasn't interested in anything much larger than fish small animals and invertebrates still it would be wise to give them plenty of space just like we do with l animals like Elephants or rhinos given their size and unique needs governments might even establish terrasaur Parks protected Wetland reserves where quetzel quarless could live and Hunt freely for scientists having quel quattas around would open up endless research opportunities studying its flight Dynamics could reveal secrets of aerodynamics we've never observed in an animal of this scale how did it lift off how did its Hollow bone support such a large body in the air observing Its Behavior could offer insights into how these creatures hunted socialized and survived our technology might even adapt in response to this incredible animal Engineers could study quel quarless Wings to design more efficient gliders or drones capable of soaring long distances with minimal energy use we might even find inspiration in its strong but lightweight bones for creating new materials in aviation and Construction in short a world with quetzel quarless would make our skies Wilder richer and more mysterious and perhaps Inspire us to reach New Heights ourselves both literally and figuratively trivia time did you know the first quetzel quess fossils were discovered in 1971 they were found in the java lina formation a fossil Rich area in Big Bend National Park.
Thank you....
