Artwork of the flying reptile Quetzalcoatlus sp
Quetzalcoatlus. Artwork of a flying Quetzalcoatlus (Quetzalcoatlus sp.), a type of Pterosaur. This was the largest living thing ever to fly, with a wingspan of over 15 metres in some individuals. Quetzalcoatlus lived towards the end of the dinosaurs reign on Earth, up until around 65 million years ago. Opinion is divided on their behaviour, with some palaeontologists seeing them as soaring vulture- like feeders, and others as wading stork-like animals. They are generally considered to be warm- blooded, and some genera had a furry coat for insulation

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the majestic Quetzalcoatlus, a flying reptile that once ruled the prehistoric skies. With its impressive wingspan stretching over 15 meters, this magnificent creature holds the title for being the largest living thing to ever take flight. Existing towards the end of the dinosaurs' reign on Earth, around 65 million years ago, Quetzalcoatlus remains an enigma in terms of behavior. Paleontologists have debated whether these incredible beings were soaring vulture-like feeders or wading stork-like animals. Regardless of their feeding habits, it is widely accepted that they possessed warm-blooded characteristics and some even sported a furry coat for insulation against harsh climates. The intricate details captured in this artwork bring to life the awe-inspiring nature of Quetzalcoatlus. Its graceful flight through ancient skies evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about our planet's distant past. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how diverse and extraordinary life on Earth has been throughout history. Science Photo Library presents us with more than just an image; it offers a glimpse into a world long gone but forever imprinted within fossils and scientific research. This artwork serves as a testament to both artistic creativity and scientific exploration, inviting us to appreciate not only the beauty found in nature but also humanity's tireless efforts to understand it better.
