That really depends on the overall weight of the creature. I'll have to dig through numbers of different flying things to make a guess. But I would say a large wing is needed. They may be soaring creatures rather than flapping creatures. So they would need a large amount of surface area on the wings to add more lift. |

Wikipedia is your friend here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatlus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterosaur_size This should tell you about the upper limits of animal flight. |
