Can you imagine swooping through the air like Hatzegopteryx, a giant of the ancient skies? Hatzegopteryx (hatz-eh-GOP-ter-iks) was one of the largest pterosaurs that ever lived; about the size of a small airplane. I am Hatzegopteryx, the second book in Arbordale Publishing’s I am Prehistoric series, gives children a glimpse into the life of the awesome Hatzegopteryx, from tiny chick to majestic winged predator, and how it made its living. Unlike many pterosaurs, this one was a terrestrial carnivore, spending its time hunting prey on land. Just like today’s animals, prehistoric creatures had adaptations and behaviors that helped them survive in their habitat—a environment that was in some ways quite different from what we see around us today.
¿Imaginas caer en picado a través del aire como un Hatzegopteryx, un gigante de los cielos antiguos? El Hatzegopteryx (hatz-eh-GOP-ter-iks) fue uno de los pterosaurios más grandes que han vivido; tenía cerca del tamaño de un avión pequeño. Yo soy Hatzegopteryx es el segundo libro de Arbordale Publishing de la serie Yo soy Prehistórico, el cual le otorga a los niños un vistazo de la vida del grandioso Hatzegopteryx, desde que era una pequeña cría hasta convertirse en un asombroso depredador alado, además de cómo hacía su vida. A diferencia de muchos pterosaurios, este era un carnívoro terrestre, el cual pasaba su tiempo cazando presas sobre tierra. Al igual que los animales del presente, las criaturas prehistóricas tenían adaptaciones y comportamientos que les ayudaban a sobrevivir en su hábitat—un ambiente que era de varias formas bastante diferente a lo que vemos a nuestro alrededor actualmente.
