Worlds Largest Bird - The High Roller - 02-17-2013
The largest prehistoric bird ever discovered is called Argentavis magnificens. This monster lived during the Miocene era and was the size of a small aircraft. Based on measurements taken from fossilized remains found, the wingspan of the Argentavis magnificens was around 7 metres, but although the bird had plenty of muscles, palaeontologists believe it was a glider rather than a bird of flight because it was too large to take off.

Aw, I was hoping it'd be the Archaeopteryx. That is still one cool looking bird.
