Can you imagine having one of these chasing you - flying or on foot? Can you imagine having a giant beak biting you and then swallowing you like storks swallow fish?
From the report:
"...the largest flying creatures ever to have lived preferred to hunt baby dinosaurs and similar-size snacks on foot, scientists say.
A new study of a group of pterosaurs called azhdarchids suggests that, even though they had wingspans of more than 10 meters (33 feet), they stalked their prey on the ground like modern-day storks."

I kinda wanna se a T. Rex versus one of these things. I don't know if they existed around the same time, but that would be awesome.

I'm guessing their wings were not spread like that while walking. Most likely they sort of bunched up/accordioned up under the arm and then spread out when they needed to fly.
