Romanian pterosaurs, a clarification...ÂAlbadraco is said to be "intermediate between giant and medium-sized azhdarchids" in size, so it's smaller (est. 6-7 m. wingspan) than 'Dracula' (est. 12-14 m. wingspan) and Hatzegopteryx (est. 10-12 m. wingspan) but bigger than Eurazhdarcho (est. 3 m wingspan). However, the AlbadracoÂspecimen is not thought to be fully grown.
