Argentavis, means "Argentina talon" is the largest fliying predatory bird that lived in Argentina during Miocene period.With
a wingspan estimated at seven meters across, Argentavis
was roughly
twice the size of the largest flying bird today (Wandering
Albatross), and only the long extinct
pterosaurs
could have
rivalled and exceeded it for size.It probably hunt small mammals using it's talon and scavenged carcass.
