Kanine posted:i wish i could have a single unit of food bigger than my entire being The heaviest pumpkin in 2016 was 2624 pounds. But it was ugly and it isn't like you're going to just carve off a chunk and start chewing. If you aren't a huge chonker a giant watermelon might be a better choice. The record is 350 pounds. Like the tiny birb you could just sit next to a watermelon and start eating. Sadly I couldn't find an pictures of birds posing with humorously oversize vegetables, so here's a crow in a PET scanner.   https://www.audubon.org/magazine/march-april-2016/meet-bird-brainiacs-american-crow

I have a contribution to birb thread from the SA propaganda thread. I was supposed to make one for a catte thread but there was a birb right for the taking so... https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3898006 Edit: I tried adding noise to the text, it still looks too sharp, I'm sure I did something wrong, oh well.

I always saw ducks and geese happily swimming along their parents and just assumed all waterfowl did that. This is important information.

Kanine posted:im actually curious, is there a specific reason birds havent gotten to the size of quetzalcoatlus Well, there was a much larger bird once. quote:At one time, wingspans have been published for the species up to 7.5 to 8 m (24 ft 7 in to 26 ft 3 in) but more recent estimates put the wingspan more likely in the range of 5.09 to 6.5 m (16 ft 8 in to 21 ft 4 in). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentavis but as for why birds generally don't get that big, there are two theories, from quick googling. 1) There's been no pressure to be that big and still fly or 2) They replace flight feathers too slowly for wings that big. there was another, possibly larger bird, but it was a different clade(the fowl). (Argentavis groups with the birds of prey) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagornis_sandersi Randaconda has a new favorite as of 23:29 on Sep 19, 2019 |

Kanine posted:im actually curious, is there a specific reason birds havent gotten to the size of quetzalcoatlus There has to be an evolutionary pressure to get that big. Birds have never been apex predators that have needed to pick up an elephant and fly it back to their nest. They've gotten as big as they've needed to to fit their ecological niche.

The flightless bird Dromornis used to get as big as 1430 pounds and was around as recently as 30,000 years ago.
