Ten-Foot Terror Bird!

The fossil of a giant carnivorous bird (2) has been found in Patagonia. It is the largest known avian skull to have ever been found.

The 10ft-tall extinct phorusrhacids (or "Terror Birds") were vicious flightless birds able to snap up dog-sized creatures that flourished in South America between 60 million and two million years ago. The find suggests that these monstrous birds, which are thought to have weighed up to half a ton, were probably more agile and less portly than previously thought.
