>no terror bird feathers or even impressions of feathers have ever been foundFeatherbros...Also, terror bird thread
>>5036424That is a beautiful reconstruction of a terror bird
>>5036610Its nice but I don't know how accurate the skull shape is.I like picrel better anatomically speaking, even if it's not as dynamic and has no cool diorama to go with it
>>5038364This classic Andalgalornis sculpture is also great.
>>5036439Shrink wrapped reconstruction. Not accurate.
>>5036424One notable detail I found about them recently is that they were determined to be poor on turns when running.Which is evidence they were not small-prey specialists as many have proposed, where agility is very important.
>>5038364Some like Brontornis have shorter beaks like in the OP
>>5036439behold!
>>5038556>BrontornisThere is no Brontornis skull material at all afaik
>>5036424No love for Bathornis, their North American cousin?
>>5039417ok fuck me then
>>5038543you dont really to turn that much to hunt a capybara
>>5036439I had never considered their stripes you go to the skin, or that all of their skin would be blue
>>5038363>>5036424I had heard this kind of animal was native to South America and died out shortly thereafter the "Great American Interchange" when large felines were introduced to their world, but I see Titanis Walleri was native to North America, so what's up with that?
>>5039728they didnt get farther than southern california, thats not really north, but its not really central america either
>>5039728It's pure bullshit. Titanis co-existed with mammalian predators for over 3 million years in North America also see >>5039467
>>5036424Paleotranny thinks she (ugly woman) is clever, but Terror Birds have always been known to be birds and there has never been a featherless bird species. Never. Dinosaurs, on the other hand have a nearly complete fossil record at this point with a few gaps on certain branches. We have skin fossils from every single group and they're all scales except for the frauds. I don't even think Coelurosaurs (a non-scientific, polyphyletic grouping) had feathers at this point.Kill the jewbot wherever you find it.
>>5036424Could you ride them as a mount?
