Eco Quetzalcoatlus Plush

A Field Museum exclusive custom plush of the biggest of the flock. Quetzalcoatlus (ket-zal-co-AHT-lus) is a giant pterosaur from Texas, with wings that stretch 35 feet across. You’ll spot one soaring over Stanley Field Hall near Máximo the titanosaur, and a second seated near the entrance of Evolving Planet—it’s about as tall as a giraffe. Quetzalcoatlus is not only the biggest of our three pterosaur species on display, but it’s also the latest in time. These flying giants likely coexisted with T. rex at the very end of the Cretaceous, about 67 million years ago. Along with non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs went extinct during the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.
