  • Phorusrhacos, commonly known as a Terror Bird, was a large, flightless bird from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene. It was the top predator of its region until other predators from North America migrated to South America.
  • Phorusrhacos grew up to 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) tall and weighed approximately 130 kilograms (290 lb).[1] They had enormous skulls up to sixty centimeters long, armed with powerful, hook-tipped beaks. The structure of the beak and the large claws on the toes show that they were carnivorous.
  • Phorusrhacos (pronounced "FOR-rus-RAH-kos") ("Rag-Thief", from Greek φώρ, thief, + ῤάκος, rag.[1]) was a giant, carnivorous flightless bird which dominated the South American ecosystem during the Cenozoic era (Tertiary and Quaternary periods), 65 mya- 3 mya. They stood 3-5 feet tall and were known as Terror Birds. Their wings had unique hooks on them which evolved to serve like arms which could be used to hack up prey. They could run very fast. They went extinct as the ice age changed the climate. Phorusrhacidae is a taxonomic family. Titanis is one of the genuses in this family.
