The abstract had been around for quite some time but just today a peer reviewed paper by Mark Witton and Darren Naish has been released, finally confirming that Hatzegopteryx was indeed short necked, this alongside it's relativelly wide skull seems to confirm that Hateg's giant pterosaur was indeed a superpredator going after considerably larger prey that most other azdharchids.

Its kind of sad it took Since 2013 it was clear that Hatzegopteryx was a short-necked macropredator Edited by heliosphoros, Jan 18 2017, 03:13 PM.

Well sure. But the paper just got released, after all back when the Deinocheirus abstract was released most people depicted it as a humpback Ornithomimid, we only found out about it's truelly weird self when the paper was fully released. |

Well now it's been calculated, tested and published in formal scientific literature. Also that blog post has one of Witton's best lines: "Hatze la vista, baby." ~ Terminator Azhdarchid, 2017. Edited by Incinerox, Jan 19 2017, 09:54 AM.

It bothers me that he miss spelled "hasta" unless he did so to emulate Arnold Schwarzenegger spelling. |

I believe he misspelled it on purpose , making it Hatze instead of hasta (since we're talking about Hatzegopteryx)
