Title: The mammoth of birds Written by: bio_man on Mar 30, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/6_30_03_13_6_46_22.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11526) This bird, known as the elephant bird, went extinct sometime in the 17th century as a result of human activity. Although flightless, the birds were widespread, inhabiting the northern to the southern tip of Madagascar. Not only are they three times the size of an ostrich, they are also known for their massive egg. These fossils are so rare that one is currently being auctioned and is expecting to go for an upwards cost of $40 000.. Comments: Looks like a dinosaur. Written by: bbb on Jul 19, 2013 |
