Quetzalcoatlus wikipedia article

This creature i said to have had a wingspan of 10m. Weight estimates have a range of over 100kg. Based on this, it's not inconcievable that Dragons could be this large. It might even be possible - and I hope it is - that they could lift 100kg additional weight, making Dragonriding possible.

Hmmm... this is strange: a Dragon forum where Dragon discussions doesn't get many posts.

Who cares at least it is dragon related which is why I came here.

Anyway that things bone structure is unlikely for a dragon since the wings would have to be even bigger so that the dragon could walk. I see this area as unlikely

Pterosaurs, by all acounts, didn't do a lot of walking, and then at very slow speeds. The structure of Quetzy isn't similar enough for dragonriding evaluation.
