| The researchers haven't produced an estimate of the terror bird's weight, but it almost surely exceeded the weights of known elephant birds and moas, says team member Luis Chiappe of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in Los Angeles. For example, people arrived on Madagascar about 2,200 years ago--also a time of worldwide climate stability--and within a millennium, the island's hippopotamuses, elephant birds, and many species of lemurs went extinct. It also enables the researchers to consider large animals that went extinct only recently, including mammoths and lions in North America, saber-toothed tigers in South America, and elephant birds on Madagascar. |
