So the temperature of the area was comparatively warmer than it is today. Sea-Bird, because the birds were found about 25 millions ago and as the fossils buried area found were under seawater. According to Ksepka and the research team, it is assumed that this largest bird was one of the giant sea birds. The fossil of the largest bird Pelagornis Sandersi was discovered near the Charleston South Carolina Airport and so the name was given on honor of the retired curator Albert Sanders of Charleston museum. Where did the largest flying bird fossils were discovered? Comparatively, its wingspan was less, as its study on fossils described its wings to the length of 13 feet extinct approximate 6 million years earlier. Beyond our thoughts but the Dan Ksepka, curator of science at a press release mentioned the massive features of the extinct largest flying birds that are twice the size of Royal Albatross.Ībout 25 million ago when Pelagornis Sandersi was alive, it was in 2014 that its fossils were discovered but until then the largest extinct bird that we know was Argentavis. The presence of pseudo teeth indicates this 20 feet widespan bird to be one of the giant sea birds, giant birds that belonged to the carnivores’ categories.Įntirely a different species of birds that were alive millions of years ago, totally unbelievable for us as we can find airplanes of such measurements flying high above with large wingspans. It is a hint that the bird was a good hunter, which had the capacity to take a fight high up to 60 km/h approximately. The longest wingspan of the bird was discovered to have pseudo-teeth it is already known to us that such teeth enable the animals and birds to catch their prey.
