The article, as well as scientific research article (link listed above) ^ talks about an extinct species of bird that stood 3 meters tall, and grew to unimaginable weights. Through analyzing the bone structures of their legs, scientists have discovered that these bird grew at an extremely slow rate, taking up to 15 years to mature. That slow growth rate was likely associated with their demise. ]]> 2022-09-02 21:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/musc9e64t92wnnvl/wish/2281180537 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/musc9e64t92wnnvl/wish/2281183256 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04824-9
