Big Bird

I was browsing the Pleistocene Megafauna article at Wikipedia (because after all, that's what you should always do as a reward for finishing the SOP), and was linked in turn to the article on Phorusrhacos.

Check out the picture. I'll wait.

Done? Yeah. Notice that the bird has just killed a goat. It could easily pick up the goat with its foot.

I'm gonna be seeing this bird in my nightmares tonight.
