- Cover photo description:
- The Phorusrhacidae, also terror birds, were up to 2.4 m, possibly also up to 3 m large, ground-dwelling and mostly flightless birds, whose fossils were found mainly in South America. They assumed the role of top predators during the Paleogene and Neogene in South America. The only recent birds that are closely related to them are the South American Seriemas Cariamidae. The Phorusrhaciden took in South America together with the carnivorous marsupial mammals of the order Sparassodonta and the terrestrial crocodiles of the family Sebecidae the role of the missing predators Carnivora. While the other two groups were rather slow, most terror birds specialized in quick prey in the dry forests and savannas of South America, which were becoming increasingly open 27 million years ago. At the same time they began to grow enormously.
