Why is the Quetzalcoatlus head shape possible?

192 viewsBiologyOther

The **Quetzalcoatlus** dinosaur has a really weird proposed head shape to body proportion. While online it says that it had a very hollow head and strong neck, wouldn’t it’s balance be offset and it would be really hard to move? I feel like the center of gravity is not condusive for anything. Could someone explain how it can have such a big and clunky head and still move fine?

The look of the head is a bit misleading because [it’s mostly hollow](https://www.britannica.com/animal/Quetzalcoatlus), so it wasn’t as front heavy as you probably imagine.
