I believe that broiing the bird in peanut-oil in certain areas of CaliforNia would be bad at this point in time, m'Kay?

How do they know that this was a flightless bird? The the scull all they found and if so can someone determine from just the scull bone that the bird could not fly?

How long do you really think a species like this would last when a group of good ol boys found out they tasted like "chicken".

In the light is a huge tiger, dragging the limp body of one of their boatmates along the shore, his head in the Tiger's mouth. Apparently the tiger had leaped from a high bank to the opposite side directly over the boat. In transit, it had chomped on the man's head, and pulled him straight up and out of the boat.The late Peter Hathaway Capstick, often referred to as the last of the Great White Hunters, put out a series of books in which there were many similar real life instances especially in Africa in the early 1900's. Death in the Long Grass is excellent as is Death in the Silent Places. Capstick was chosen to do the intro for the book by J.H. Patterson titled The Man Eaters of Tsavo. This was the book upon which the movie with Michael Douglas "The Ghost and the Darkness" was loosely based.

The reason I heard these birds went extinct is because of jaguars coming south into their territory.

Hey! I have a turkey fryer that I use every Thanksgiving. So, stop making fun of me.
And I only had one small fire so far. Big deal...so I had to rebuild the deck.

I'm just curious, just supposing this thing was a "living" fossile, what kind of load would you use?M2HB .50 BMG. Works well on armored personnel carriers. It'll do for an overgrown chicken.

Here're a couple of young female tigers.
I asked the little one if the larger one was "purring" like a house cat would when her belly was rubbed.
She said it was not purring.

While many buffalo hunters brought their elephant guns to the wild west, it was noted that those guns didn't hold up well. Maintenance was quite a problem. Wyatt Earp brought a shotgun loaded with slug. It did the job just as well in his opinion and didn't wear out after a few shots.

No, I'm afraid I don't. You start with cheetahs and end up with fish too deep to see their own patterns and that is supposed to be evidence of what, I have no idea.
