A terrifying shadow casts over the city as a massive prehistoric creature, the Quetzalcoatlus, flies above, faster than the cars below, hunting in packs. Today, we explore what it would be like if this massive pterosaur had never gone extinct. Discover how Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar is connected to this story.

So, what is Quetzalcoatlus? Contrary to appearances, it is not a dinosaur or a pterodactyl but a pterosaur, a giant reptile from the past.

Timeline:

11:34 - Escobar and The Hippos Gambit
