READING: DEAD DUCKS FROM DOWN UNDER
Dromornis stirtoni, an extinct flightless bird, lived in Australia roughly 8 million
years ago. It was probably the heaviest bird in the history of evolution, with
a weight of slightly more than 500 kg although its wing span was very small.
A considerable amount of information has been obtained from recent
fossil finds in Queensland, enabling scientists to work out basic
measurements. From a morphological point of view, Dromornis stirtoni
appears to be similar to an emu or an ostrich, however, scientists now
believe that it is related to the duck species, as the massive dimensions of
the head show. The bird attained a height of over 3 meters. The large
head and formidable beak suggest that the bird was carnivorous. The
cross-section of fossils of the leg bones reveals that the bird had short, thick
legs indicating that it could not have run as fast as the ostrich. The width of
the body was about the same as the length of the neck and legs.
