If undaunted by the oysterâs rough, rock-hard, nearly-impossible-to-open shell, the undoubtedly famished first taster would then have confronted the gray, slimy, almost phlegmatic appearance of its plump body.
2 Answers. 0. The largest flying animals that ever lived were members of the Azhadrichidae family of pterosaurs, flying reptiles that lived around the same time as the dinosaurs, though they were not actually dinosaurs. The name Azhadrichidae comes from the word Ajdarxo, a dragon in Uzbek mythology.
The world's largest ever bird revealed: 'Condor' with a 24-FOOT wingspan soared across the skies 28 million years ago. The largest bird that ever flew, which had a staggering 24ft (7 metre) wingspan, was so heavy it would have had to take off like a hang glider. Computer simulations have revealed that the prehistoric condor-like Pelagornis sandersi could only have left the ground by taking a running jump downhill into a headwind.
