Tichitaura nezvemhuka hurusa yati yambovapo munyika, munhu wose anoziva kuti iblue whale, asi zvakadini nemhuka hurusa inobhururuka? Fungidzira chisikwa chinoshamisira uye chinotyisa chichifamba mumachakwi makore angangoita mamirioni makumi manomwe apfuura, Pterosauria yakareba mamita mana inozivikanwa seQuetzalcatlus, inova yeAzhdarchidae Mhuri. Mapapiro ayo anogona kureba mamita gumi nemaviri, uye inotova nemuromo wakareba mamita matatu. Inorema hafu yetani. Hungu, Quetzalcatlus ndiyo mhuka hurusa inobhururuka inozivikanwa pasi pano.

Pterosauria ndidzo mhuka dzekutanga kushanduka kugona kubhururuka mushure mezvipembenene. Quetzalcatlus yakanga ine sternum hombe, kunova ndiko kwakabatanidzwa mhasuru dzekubhururuka, dzakakura kudarika tsandanyama dzeshiri nezviremwaremwa.

Quetzalcatlus inofungidzirwa kusimuka pasi pesimba rayo, asi kana yave mumhepo inogona kupedza nguva yakawanda ichibhururuka.
Quetzalcatlus akararama munguva yekupedzisira yeCretaceous, anenge mamiriyoni makumi manomwe emakore apfuura kusvika mamiriyoni 65.5 emakore apfuura. Vakapera pamwe chete nemadinosaurs muCretaceous-Tertiary extinction chiitiko.
