Among the weirder members of this group were the Mihirungs, members of the now extinct family Dromornithidae. Made up of several genera of flightless birds-among them one of the very largest birds that ever lived-the dromornithids ranged from 60-kilogram beasts, 1.5 meters tall, to giants twice that size, weighing nearly half a metric ton. They were, by orders of magnitude, the largest \"geese\" that ever lived. One species was comparable in size to the Ele-phantbird of Madagascar and the Giant Moa of New Zealand. This book is the first major study of this unique and highly diverse group. It aims to present as complete a synthesis as possible of current information about this fascinating family of birds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698053054752,"sku":"NEW0253342821","price":56.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71y3beVjALL.jpg?v=1779384163","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/magnificent-mihirungs-the-colossal-flightless-birds-of-the-australian-dreamtime-life-of-the-past-0253342821","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
