Arambourgiania is an extinct genus of azhdarchid pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous period (Maastrichtian stage) of Jordan, and possibly the United States and Morocco.[1][2] With a wingspan of around 10 metres (33 ft), Arambourgiania was among the largest members of its family, the Azhdarchidae, and it is also one of the largest flying animals ever known.[3]
