| Description |
English:
The
Maastrichtian
, Transylvanian giant azhdarchid pterosaur
Hatzegopteryx
sp.
preys on the
rhabdodontid iguanodontian Zalmoxes
. Because large predatory theropods are unknown on Late Cretaceous Haţeg Island, giant
azhdarchids
may have played a key role as terrestrial predators in this community.
