Prettige feite

Gargantuavis is the largest known bird from the Mesozoic Era, the time of the dinosaurs.1

Its fossils were first found in 1995 near a vineyard in France, so scientists named it philoinos, which means 'one who likes wine'.1

Gargantuavis lived on islands in Europe when the sea level was higher.1

It had a long, slender neck and probably did not have a big head.1

Gargantuavis grew quickly when young, then took at least 10 years to become fully grown.1

It lived alongside meat-eating dinosaurs like abelisaurids and dromaeosaurids.1
