I find it very interesting that the two largest flying birds in prehistory (Pelagornis and Argentavis) and the two largest flying birds today (the wandering albatross and Andean condor) hold identical niches to each other; Pelagornis and wandering albatross are both pelagic fish-eaters while Argentavis and Andean condor are both mountain/plains-dwelling scavengers. It's clear that there's something about those lifestyles that allow flying birds in general to get extremely large. Also, if you go by modern phylogeny, Pelagornis is in fact, a reptile, as all birds are.

im very late, but argentavis has been found to have not been like a vulture at all, its niche was closer to a caracara and an eagle than that of a condor. they could go as far as chase prey on foot even. even argentavis isnt exactly like modern albatrosses, and would have been like a mix of large petrel and albatross, although a bit more on the albatross side.

Jrizzle Productshizzle There are thousands of bones sitting in labs and museums that are not identified, its pretty easy to find them but can be near impossible to figure out what species they belong to. Sometimes bones can be mislabled as one species when they are actually a different one, or be seen as a new species when they are not. Telling an animal from a small collection of usually worn and broken bones is a pretty difficult task and can take years and much trial and error until an agreed upon conclusion can be made, even then it could still be proven wrong if a new more complete skeleton is found.

@N0xiety

Some birds can sleep on flight and go on flying almost forever. They basically have two modes. When they are hunting, they are generally using most of their brain power, but when they are soaring, they go into a half sleep mode where parts of their brain shut down in intervals to rest while in flight. They only need full power of their brain when they are hunting.

Wow! As the making of the Spruce Goose proved, size doesn't matter in flight! And I wish I could be credited for the discovery of a prehistoric creature when I find it in a museum!

This reminds me of those huge bird-deüpictions on some of the ancient burial sites of the middle east ( I believe they were believed to be one of the first human towns/cities ever ). They had these open ( no roof ) burial sites and thwere on the walls archeologist found those depictions of some giant bird looking things - especially the head/long beak reminds me of this thing...

I'm late to the game with this, but to be fair, I just saw this comment. Let me weigh in. 1) The way this documentary uses "discover" isn't the way most people would. Really, it's a "rediscovery" as these fossils had been known in the paleontology community prior to Dan publishing on them. That's what the doc narrator should have said, but they left that part out. Scientists have known about this since the 80's, in a general sense, that this was a big bird. However, Dan put in the work to formalize it as well as determined, in terms of wingspan, that it's the biggest bird. 2) Museums receive a lot of fossils depending on if they are involved in an active dig that produces a lot of material or if a lot of people happen to be donating around the same time. Factor in prep time and it can take a long time between fossils coming out of the ground and them finally getting published. 3) The publication process itself is not always fast. By the time the public sees articles or documentaries like this, work to get the information into formal scientific literature has been potentially years in the making. Now that authors can publish digitally it is getting faster, but papers still have to be read and reviewed by other researchers and then go through rounds of edits before the general public even hears about it... if they do. Not all animals are "world's largest ---" in which case they probably won't get a Smithsonian Channel special. 4) Not every paleontologist is an expert on every fossil ever found. Sometimes it takes the right paleontologist visiting the right collection to immediately recognize the importance of specimen. Even more so if the specimen is REALLY fragmentary. I hope this helps!

This is such an interesting channel

Paleontologist finds bones in museum. Claims finding new species...

@FossilJockMatt

3 жыл бұрын

The documentary doesn't do a good job with how it uses "discovery." Although the fossils of the bird were known about since the 80s, it had never been formally described. So, up to that point, it was "just a big bird." It could have been a big individual of a known species, or a big new species. Until Dan studied it and formally described it, it was just a big question mark. So yea, it's the first published description of a new species so that claim is valid in that regard. Also, fossils aren't unearthed and described immediately. It takes a long time cleaning, rebuilding, and comparing to other fossils before someone has enough evidence to say something is a new species. That can take years, maybe decades, depending on the specimen in question. It would have been nice if the documentary had said that. Most people think when "Science" or some other journal says a new species was discovered, that it happened like last week or something. More likely the fossil was found years ago and the work has just now been completed on it. Just like when a "new" building is opened to the public. We start thinking of the building as new once the work is done, not when the initial work begins.

As far as I know this one had a larger wingspan though, which was probably how this was judged (modern Wandering Albatross also has a higher Wingspan than some heavier birds and are sometimes called the largest flying bird for that reason).

Rivaled by the teratorns, especially Argentavis magnificans that had a wingspan of 6-8 meters (20-26 ft.). Like the condors, it's said to have been a scavenger and if its wing shape resembled the Condor, the surface area would have surely exceeded that of Pelagornis.

good stuff

Hollow bones. thicker and more breathable atmosphere. Very high oxygen levels.

Jonah Kelley, let me assume that you're either a middle aged mother who defends everything or a twenty something old woman who plays ark. The latter is more likely as you did say "STFU".

Watching that Albatross made me feel really good.

Narrator: Pelagornis is biggest bird to ever fly. Argentavis: Am I joke to you.

No, if we compare the size of body and the wingspan, pelagornis has bigger body and longer wingspan. But if we compare on the stats, Argentavis got more weigh because this bird eat a lot of meat (unlike pelargonis who ate fish), so argentavis is more massive on weight comparison

@@mr.spider6859 true man, mass is what is really important. But some minority of people will look more on the height, example sum will say therizino is bigger than trex cus it's taller. But on actual fact, t-rex is actually larger because of its mass

Sheldon? Is that you?

The way they talk about him finding the bones in a museum as if nobody found them before him and put them there in the first place haha, "i saw this for the first time, it was absolutely spectacular"

looks like giant pterosaur even though they not related one to another. Awesome!

Very long and thin wings.....look at modern glider/sailplane design.

They show the feathers on the trailing edge of the wing fluttering. That wouldn't happen unless the wing stalls, and if that happens, the bird, just like an airplane, quits flying.

85zip There wings are very big for a reason, it helps them fly effortlessly threw the ocean sea winds. Because of this, it uses little to no energy flying, I am no sea bird expert. But I would assume sea birds could either fly while sleeping, or not sleep at all because it doesn't use much energy.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a sandersi should be able to fly.
