Episode 37.5 - More Birds

Surprise!

We've gotten a lot of bird requests, so to follow up our Evolution of Birds discussion, we put together three mini-discussions based on other birds our listeners have asked to hear about:

1. The evolution and fossil history of flamingos.

2. The fossil record of the famous predatory "terror birds."

3. Argentavis and Pelagornis, history's largest flying birds.

Time markers:

Intro: 00:00:00

Terror birds: 00:23:30

Giant flying birds: 00:46:30
