Owner Comments:

Genyornis newtoni was a large, flightless bird that lived in Australia. Over two metres in height, they were likely either omnivorous or herbivorous. They became extinct 30±5 thousand years ago.[1] Many other species became extinct in Australia around that time, coinciding with the arrival of humans. Their closest living relatives are fowl.
