That's weird, because I saw a lifesized model of a Quetzalcoatlus in the Museum 
of the
Rockies, and I was surprised at how little it was.  They had reconstructed it 
standing
bipedally (a stance we know it couldn't have held, but it looked cool) and it 
looked like
an exceptionally tall and lanky person.  Tall, but certainly not large.  Maybe 
the
pterosaur only looked small next to the life-size Maiasaura on the other side 
of the
room.
