Answers
Answer:
The largest extant species of bird, measured by mass, is the common ostrich (Struthio camelus), a member of the Struthioniformes family from the plains of Africa and Arabia. A large male ostrich can reach a height of 2.8 metres (9.2 feet) and weigh over 156 kg (344 lb).[1] A mass of 200 kg (440 lb) has been cited for the ostrich but no wild ostriches of this massive weight have been verified so far.[2] Ostrich eggs can weigh 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) and are the largest eggs in the world.[3]
The bird with the largest wingspan is the wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) of the Sub-Antarctic oceans. The largest dimensions found in this species are an approximate head-to-tail length of 1.44 m (4.7 ft) and a wingspan of 3.65 m (12.0 ft).
The largest bird in the fossil record may be the extinct elephant bird (Aepyornis) of Madagascar, whose closest living relative is the kiwi. They exceeded 3 m (9.8 ft) in height and weighed over 500 kg (1,100 lb).[4] The elephant birds are estimated to have become extinct about 1,000 years ago. The Dromornis stirtoni of Australia, part of a 26,000-year-old group called mihirungs of the family Dromornithidae,[5] were of similar proportions to the largest elephant birds.
The largest carnivorous bird was Brontornis, an extinct flightless bird from South America which reached a weight of 350 to 400 kg (770 to 880 lb) and a height of about 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in).[6]
The tallest recorded bird was the South Island giant moa (Dinornis robustus), part of the moa family of New Zealand that went extinct around 1500 AD. This particular species of moa stood at 3.7 m (12 ft) tall[1] but only weighed about half as much as a large elephant bird or mihirung due to its comparatively slender frame.[4]
The heaviest bird ever capable of the flight was Argentavis magnificens, the largest member of the extinct family Teratornithidae. The Argentavis was found in Miocene-aged fossil beds of Argentina and had a wingspan up to 5–6 m (16–20 ft), a length of up to 1.26 m (4.1 ft), a height of up to 1.5–2 m (4.9–6.6 ft) and the bodyweight of at least 71 kg (157 lb).[4][7] Pelagornis sandersi is another contender for the largest-known flying bird ever, rivaling Argentavis in wingspan if not in bulk and mass, with a wingspan of up to 7.3 m (24 ft).[8]
