Animal of the Day!

Titanis (Titanis walleri)

(Photo from Florida Museum of Natural History)

Conservation Status- Extinct

Habitat- North America

Estimated Size (Weight/Length)- 150 kg; 2 m tall

Diet- Mammals

Time Period- Pliocene; Early Pleistocene

Cool Facts- Titanis was one of the larger terror birds that stalked the plains of North America for thousands of years. Incapable of flight, Titanis most likely relied on its long legs to outrun its prey. While a skull has never been found, it is assumed that Titanis had the massive, ax-like beak other terror birds of the time period had, leading to interpretations of what its complete skeleton may look like. Due to having excellent movement in their neck, it is believed that Titanis would chase down its prey and batter the animal to death with its massive beak. Titanis most likely went extinct due to competition from new predators, especially bears and big cats.

Rating- 11/10 (Could outrun a horse.)

So I wasn’t sure if I would be done with these guys in time, but one last addition to today’s Etsy update: Axebeaks with little gear on their backs. 

They are basically a million things I love and have wanted to do, putting little fabric guys on ceramic critters, D&D, Terror Birds.  Hope you like em!

Kelenken!

The massive mother Devincenzia, one of the biggest terror birds to ever walk the earth, looked dissaprovingly at what was before her, with a piercing gaze coming from her eyes, over two metres off the forest floor. She was not amused, to put it mildly.

Her two chicks had hatched recently, and had proven themselves to be quite a wingful. They were always up to no good, chasing small animals, running over logs, and getting into mischief. Now, they had been running around a clearing, which had a strange thing among a huge pile of leaves.

The Devincenzia was naturally suspicious of strange objects, and the strange black box that was among the leaves. Occasionally it made a clicking sound. The terror bird didn’t know what it was. As far as she was concerned, it may have been a strange vine. But she didn’t like it. She decided to lead her little rascals elsewhere.
