Decades later, I learned about those Australian birds that use wildfires to flush out prey. If I were to tell modern kids about my creation, they’d find it derivative and lame.

  • Terror Birds are commonly found in the Redwood forest, near the Center of the Island. If you intend on taking or hunting one, be prepared for one heck of an adventure, as the redwood forest is surrounded by a swamp on one side that is home to many snakes and crocodile, and the other a plains where alphas, Theris, raptors, and even rexes can spawn. Even in the forest itself, Dire Bears, Thylacoleos, and other dangerous creatures spawn. Once you’ve found the Terror Bird, try to hit them from afar. If you have a tame such as Argentavis or a Quetzal, you can use it to pluck a terror bird from the pack and bring it to a safer taming area, but doing that exposes you to Thylacoleos that lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce on you. Bring weapons.

  • Great content as usual. But I have to say, placing the figurines in a scene of pebbles, leaves, twigs and blades of grass that come up to their knees really takes he viewer out of perspective as you describe the enormity of these animals. It creates quite a cognitive dissonance

  • In the Houston Meuseum of Natural Science, of which Dr. Bakker currently serves as the Curator of Paleontology, has a skeleton of one of these "terror birds". It states it is much more likely these birds were vegetarians rather than carnivores. It cites the beak, among other physiological adaptations, as being one more suited to cracking seed shells rather than skulls
