A distinctive feature was its approximately 3-metre-long skull, among the largest known in a non-aquatic animal. To permit flight with such a large head, the bone had an air-filled internal structure that reduced its mass without compromising strength. The jaw bones indicate a wider gape than in other giant pterosaurs, while the neck vertebrae suggest a strong, muscular neck capable of attacking and lifting animals much heavier than itself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-759\" style=\"width: 602px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-759 size-full\" title=\"Hatzegopteryx compared to a 1.8 meter tall human\" src=\"http:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hatzegopteryx-size.jpg\" alt=\"Hatzegopteryx size comparison\" width=\"602\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hatzegopteryx-size.jpg 602w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hatzegopteryx-size-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hatzegopteryx-size-600x359.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hatzegopteryx-size-555x332.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hatzegopteryx compared with a 1.8-metre-tall human \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prehistoric-wildlife.com\/species\/h\/hatzegopteryx.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.prehistoric-wildlife.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_760\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-760\" style=\"width: 461px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-760 size-full\" title=\"Hatzegopteryx compared to a human and a giraffe\" src=\"http:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hatzegopteryx-dinos.jpg\" alt=\"Hatzegopteryx size comparison\" width=\"461\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hatzegopteryx-dinos.jpg 461w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hatzegopteryx-dinos-300x293.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hatzegopteryx compared with a human and a giraffe \u2013 artist: Mark Witton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The reconstruction of\u00a0<em>Hatzegopteryx<\/em>\u00a0is based on incomplete remains, including skull fragments, neck vertebrae and the left humerus, the upper arm bone.
