Don’t Worry, They Mostly Ate Fruit

Millions of years ago, a huge flightless bird called a mihirung roamed Australia. Known as the demon duck of doom, they weighed 1000 pounds and had gigantic beaks. To make room for the big bill, they had flattened skulls and squished brains. They stuck around for 25,000,000 years, going extinct 20 to 50,000 years ago.
