It is the largest known forosrhacidae bird, considered the greatest exponent of carnivorous birds or “birds of terror”, which at 3 meters and 150 kilograms was declared the king of the South American savannas. The Paleopark will represent the Miocene period, which occurred between 23 and 5 million years ago. The Comallo sediments date back approximately 15 million years and the climate up to that time was warmer, with a landscape dominated by grasslands and savannahs where large mammals, astrapotherians, toxodonts and litopterns grazed. It should be noted that this work will allow the The Rio Negro Steppe corridor will gain vital importance in terms of paleontological tourism and will favor the development of the southern region. |
