Hatze - a very big creature

Hi Steemians!
Hatze refers to Hatzegopteryx, I hope you like this drawing.
Hatzegopteryx is big. So big, in fact, that when paleontologists discovered its fossil remains back in 1991, they thought the fossils belonged to a theropod.
However, researchers soon realized their error. Unlikely as it seemed, they were looking at a pterosaur – one of the biggest pterosaurs of all time. Estimates of its dimensions put it up with the mighty Quetzalcoatlus. Paleontologists believe that its wingspan was up to 12 meters (40 ft) across, and its unusually robust skull was 3 meters (10 ft) in length. They have not yet found a full jaw, but believe it could be the longest jaw for any terrestrial tetrapod that has ever existed.
