The largest flying bird known in the world, I live in what is now Argentine territory, about 6 million years ago. It was a giant vulture about 7 meters or more. with an approximate weight of 70 kilos, data that has been calculated from fossil remains found in 1979 at 160 kilometers from Buenos Aires.
It is believed that his head and neck were devoid of feathers, by the characteristics of the beak the Argentanis was a predator and not a scavenger. It had large but weak legs, therefore it was impossible to raise its prey, however, when it saw its victims, it launched itself on them, trapping them on the ground.
His flight style was gliding, using thermal currents and breezes of all kinds. Studies carried out by researchers from the University of Tech, calculated the flight parameters, based on the fossils, and entered the data, into the computer and it was shown that it had all the characteristics of a high performance glider. This bird used the same technique used by hang gliders or paragliders.
