Cryodrakon boreas-one of the largest flying animals identified

Paleontologists have identified enormous species of giant pterosaur and has named it Cryodrakon boreas. They also declared that it could be one of the largest flying animals. Its name has been drawn from the ancient Greek words that translate to “cold dragon of the north winds.”
According to a new study by reseachers from the Queen Mary University of London, published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, this species used to fly millions of years ago in what is now Canada.
With a wingspan of over 10 metres, it is believed to have flown over the heads of dinosaurs.
Fossils of Cryodrakon boreas were found decades ago, and were thought to belong to another North American azhdarchid: Quetzalcoatlus, one of the biggest flying animals of all time. But the discovery of additional fossils in recent years told scientists that the fossils represented a newfound species, and the first new species of giant pterosaur found in Canada.
