Could my Wyverns exist?

+0
−0

A long time ago, Yi Qi diverged into three main groups: Cockatrices, Drakes, and Wyverns. Some characteristics of Wyverns include:

  • They are tetrapods/quadrupeds
  • They are covered with feathers
  • They have horns
  • They have bat like wings
  • They are roughly the size of quetzalcoatlus (some are slightly larger)
  • The males gather shiny objects in their nests to attract mates
  • They have small tails
  • They are carnivorous
  • They can support the weight of ONE unarmored human
  • They store a flammable liquid in a gland of some kind, which they then ignite and release onto their victims

Given these characteristics, could such a beast realistically exist?

NOTE: Magic does not exist in my story
