Macho MAGA Man Posted May 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2022 When it says 30 feet in length, do they mean from tip of the beak to tail, or wingspan length? No matter what, that thing was huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a little more info down below. http://novataxa.blogspot.com/2022/05/thanatosdrakon.html where it says -“ Two specimens were identified, the holotype (UNCUYO-LD 307) and the paratype, with an estimated wingspan of ∼ 7 m and ∼ 9 m, respectively“ 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DanL Posted May 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I believe that is wingspan. Another article mentioned that they had a 7 to 9 meter wingspan and 9 meters is about 29.5 feet. BIG BIRD!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted May 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Could be a coincidence that they would be the same, but when I see "30 feet long", I think of "beak to tail end". both measurements could be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
