We Never Fought Them Fair. We Never Had To.

South America 50M years ago: terror birds 3m tall, hooked beak, apex predator. NZ 700 years ago: Haast's Eagle 3m wingspan, talons like a tiger's claws. Maori called it the pouakai. Scientists called it legend. The bones called it accurate. Then humans arrived. Both birds gone. We never fought them fair. We never had to. The sky wasn't safe. Neither was the ground. Two of the most powerful birds that ever lived and humans ended both of them without ever fighting fair. #prehistory #terrorbids #haastseagle #earlyhumans #prehistoric
