Description

Titanis walleri lived approximately two million years ago in North America. Fossil evidence has been found in Florida and Texas. It was part of the group of giant flightless birds called Phorusrhacidae, which are nicknamed "terror birds". It had a huge, axe-like beak and head and was between two and three meters tall and weighed approximately 130 kilograms.Small wings had fingers with sharp claws which could grab and hold the prey.

they're scary. excellent render. but from their appearance here, it seems like their neck muscles wouldn't be strong enuff to support their heads, compared to an allosaurus or t-rex neck.
