Museum workers prepare a representation of what museum officials claim is the world's biggest discovered pterosaur prior to its exhibition at the Altmuehltal Dinosaur Museum on March 21, 2018, in Denkendorf, Germany. Bones of the unnamed pterosaur were found in the Transylvanian region of Romania and the museum has dubbed the creature "Dracula." The species is so far unnamed, though it is part of a class of ancient flying reptiles called Pterosaurs and is approximately 66 million years old. The wingspan of the reconstructed pterosaur measures 12 meters and when standing, the creature measures 3.5 meters in height. Original bones of the pterosaur are displayed in a separate display cabinet in the museum. Whether this new species could actually fly is unclear. #
