About 5 million years ago, a new predator made its way from the south and onto the coastal plains of North America. It was a giant, flightless, carnivorous bird and came to be known by one of the coolest and most richly earned nicknames in all of paleontology: the terror bird.
Correction! Thanks to Ben Creisler for pointing out that at 4:10, we mixed up the Paleogene Period with the Neogene Period. We regret the error and hope you still find these birds as terrifying as we do.
Thanks to Julio Lacerda and Studio 252mya for the Titanis illustration. You can find more of Julio's work here: https://252mya.com/gallery/julio-lacerda
Produced for PBS Digital Studios.
