What If Quetzalcoatlus Were Still Alive?

from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

A terrifying shadow ripples over the city as a gigantic prehistoric beast soars over the towers, moving faster than the cars on the freeway, hunting. And it's not alone; it hunts in a pack. This was... and IS Quetzalcoatlus. Because today, we're bringing this creature back from extinction. How exactly did Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar get mixed up in all this? Hold on for that. What exactly is Quetzalcoatlus? It resembles a dinosaur or a pterodactyl but is neither. This enormous flying creature is a pterosaur, which means it's a reptile. A big one.
