Скачать или смотреть Terror Birds Invaded Europe?! | Ancient Mystery

After the dinosaurs, terror birds rose as apex predators, with one species colonizing Europe – the only one to do so. 53 million years ago, Paleopsilopterus emerged in a hothouse world. It was a modest one meter tall, with agility that foreshadowed its descendants' dominance. Just three million years later, Eluthaornis stood 50% taller, venturing into Europe. Later came Paraphysornis, a 1.4-meter giant weighing 180 kilograms, hunting with powerful kicks and jabs. Their brains showed well-developed visual and auditory centers. Titanis migrated to North America, standing 2 meters tall. Kelenken, at 3 meters and 250 kilograms, had a bone-crushing beak.
