Llallawavis scagliai: New Terror Bird Discovered in Argentina

A group of paleontologists has described a new genus and species of Phorusrhacidae that lived in what is now Argentina during the Pliocene epoch, around 3.5 million years ago.

Phorusrhacidae (the so-called terror birds) were a group of extinct terrestrial carnivorous birds that are known mainly from the Cenozoic of South America, but also from the Plio-Pleistocene of North America and the Eocene of Africa.
