Scientists are certain that the largest bird in history got its huge bulk up and flying, but how did it do so, exactly? The aforementioned condor is the world's largest flying bird, but the heaviest - Africa's kori bustard - requires a running start to take to the skies, and it weighs less than a third of Argentavis.The largest and heaviest birds are now extinct who are capable to flight but following is a list of the heaviest and largest living bird specie, found in plains, mountains,riverside and forest. The Andean condor is the current biggest bird in the sky, and it still weighs six times less as Argentavis and boasts only half the wingspan of its ancient ancestor.
This prehistoric avian giant belonged to an extinct family of predatory birds that taxonomists justifiably dubbed teratorns, or "monster birds." Argentavis far outweighed even the largest of its closest modern descendants, like storks, American vultures, and condors. It averaged a hefty 70 kilograms (that's over 150 pounds!), and its wingspan measured 7 meters, nearly 23 feet from tip to tip. Big enough for National Geographic to compare the formidable raptor to a Cessna 152 two-seater airplane.
