Could Quetzalcoatlus carry a human?
The results of a computer simulation suggests that the largest members of Quetzacoatlus might be able to carry a person.

That's a person for scale but it is heavily believed that they often scrapped with T-rex's and could've flown at up to 80mph

Scrapped with T. rexes? That's a bit of an exaggeration. This thing weighed no more than 250 kg. T. rex weighed around 8000 kg (if not more). Them fighting against a T. rex is like a seagull fighting against me. All it can do is fly around me being a nuisance, but a single hit from me (or bite for a T. rex) would annihilate the flying critter.
