These species lived about eight million years ago and may be related to modern birds.

In Australia, the largest bird in the world can be found. These include a gigantic foot bone and foot bones the size of a human foot. Science Alert writes about it.

Scientists believe that the bones belong to a thunderbird called Stirton (Dromornis Stirtoni). Its large beak protruded from a small skull, its body reached three meters in height, and its weight was about half a ton.

It is believed that these birds lived about eight million years ago and may be related to modern birds such as chickens and ducks.

“The fossilized bones were discovered in the Alkuta Conservation Area, a dense fossil site 190 km northeast of Alice Springs, which has one of the largest concentrations of terrestrial vertebrate remains in Australia. Despite the fact that since the beginning the excavation in 1986, thousands of fossil specimens were found at this site, most of them mixed fragments of different species due to the fact that historical flood waters mixed the remains, ” said the scientists.
