Gluttonyby *Julio-Lacerda

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals

A Hatzegopteryx collapses after choking when trying to devour a young Elopteryx. Sometimes the (big) mouth speaks louder than the (tiny) brain.

Got the idea from a conversation with ~painted-wolfs-den about how azhdarchids may have occasionally tried to swallow something too big and choke to death, as has been recorded in herons.

Sad, I know.

Make sure to see her take on the subject as well: [link]

that would be a big bug lol! i love this. ive always anticipated a large pterosaur being discovered in a choking situation.

Like it, though the Elopteryx (well, what can be seen of it) doesn't seem too big to swallow for these things. Cool bug btw

In that case the problem may not be that the prey is too big, but that it was alive. Let's imagine that the Elopteryx panicked inside his throat and flapped it's wings and moved it's head, getting stuck in the process
