The identification of part of the fossilized remains of a so-called "terror bird" species in South America has given researchers new insight into the apex predators that roamed some 12 million years ago.
The bird, discovered in central Colombia nearly two decades ago, was only recently identified as what may be the largest known species of terror bird ever discovered.
