Azhdarchidae

Family of large azhdarchoid pterosaurs

Azhdarchidae

Azhdarchidae (named after the azhdar, اژدر, a dragon-like creature in Persian mythology) is a family of pterosaurs known mostly from the Late Cretaceous. Azhdarchids include the largest flying animals discovered, but smaller cat-size members have also been found. Originally considered a sub-family of Pteranodontidae, Nesov (1984) named the Azhdarchinae to include the pterosaurs Azhdarcho, Quetzalcoatlus, and Titanopteryx (now known as Arambourgiania).
