A new species of South
American fossil terror bird called Llallawavis scagliai ("Scaglia's Magnificent
Bird") is shedding light on the diversity of the group and how these giant
extinct predators interacted with their environment. The new species, described
in the latest issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology,
is the most complete terror bird ever discovered, with more than 90% of the
skeleton exquisitely preserved. The new specimen also reveals details of
anatomy that rarely preserve in the fossil record, including the auditory
region of the skull, voice box, complete trachea, bones for focussing the eye,
and the complete palate, allowing an unprecedented understanding of the sensory
capabilities of these extinct predatory birds.
"The mean hearing estimated for this terror bird was below the average
for living birds," said Dr. Federico "Dino" Degrange, lead
author of the study from the Centro de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Tierra
(CICTERRA), CONICET and the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina.
"This seems to indicate that Llallawavis may have had a narrow, low
vocalization frequency range, presumably used for intraspecific acoustic
communication or prey detection." This is the first time that the
structures which indicate hearing sensitivity have been reconstructed for any
terror bird, and they may help explain the evolution, behavior, and ecology of
this group of fossil birds.
Terror birds, or phorusracids as they are known scientifically, were
carnivorous flightless birds up to 3 meters (10 ft) in height with tall hooked
beaks. These birds were the predominant predators during the Cenozoic Age in
South America and certainly one of the most striking groups that lived during
that time. "The discovery of this new species provides new insights for
studying the anatomy and phylogeny of phorusrhacids and a better understanding
of this group's diversification," said Dr. Claudia Tambussi, also of
CICTERRA and one of the co-authors of the study. The new species stood 4 feet
tall and lived in Argentina approximately 3.5 million years ago in the Pliocene
Epoch, towards the end of the reign of the group.
"The discovery of this species reveals that terror birds were more
diverse in the Pliocene than previously thought. It will allow us to review the
hypothesis about the decline and extinction of this fascinating group of
birds" said Degrange.
