Re: large fossil birds

The only catch is that azhdarchids didn't have particularly long wings
relative to their size.>
And my point is that the two groups are not directly comparable, given the
different evolutionary constraints they inherited. The physics of flight
apply equally to both, of course, but they each had to work with what they
had. It's my belief that these evolutionary constraints resulted in
different physical limits on size for the two groups.
