5. The Biggest Animal to Fly Recorded
Found in the USA’s Texas
Estimated Price: $0 (Extinct)
Unknown circumstances lead one to believe that the largest known flying animal is an ostrich-like creature. When you see this image of a model Quetzalcoatlus Northropi standing next to a man, you might assume that the man is a dwarf because nobody can imagine an animal with the wingspan of a small airplane. However, it is untrue—the man is a typical individual who stands 1.8 meters tall.
The Biggest Flying Animal Ever Discovered
Fortunately, this species has vanished off the face of the planet over the last few millennia. We are happy that we were not alive when it roamed the Earth because its petrified remains were discovered in what is now Texas, USA.
