How would warfare have changed if Argentavis Magnificens coexisted with humans? Would flying archery have developed to replace horse archery? Would birdshot be enough to take them down?
bird like that wouldn't have gave a fuck about peopleone rare mountain wizard who befriended a family of 6-8 maybe would exist
A 70kg bird cannot carry a human and still fly, and it would be even more vulnerable to injury than a human is. Humans might have tried to tame/domesticate it as a hunting animal, but it wouldn't be any more useful in warfare than other trained hunting birds i.e. not useful.
>the biggest known flying birdIt was the heaviest, not the largest wingspan. Pelagornis had a larger wingspan.

I guarantee you if that thing was still running (or flying) around when humans were too we would 100% have killed and eaten them into extinction.
>>65391401more likely we'd hunt its prey and drive it to extinction, its what happened to another large bird species i can't recall the name
>>65391370Weight/mass is what really matters when judging how large an animal really is, retard.

>big birdGAY. Its a plane but worse>big soft bodied intelligent octopusNow we have a useful tool on our hands, either as a trained combat engineering aid or as a model for soft-body robots/USVs.

>>65398009Everything prehistoric was actually faker and gayer than previously believed. Life on Earth was overhyped and the nuke is the correct path forward.
>>65391375It's not a question of where he grips a person. It's a simple question of weight ratios. A seventy kilo bird could not carry a 185 pound coconut
