Amazonian igaunodon
 Amazon
Rainforest SA
: There have been several reports over the last couple
hundred years of animals which the observers described as igaunodon-like
being seen in the Amazon. I, however, highly doubt that there could
be dinosaurs in the amazon, and would like to propose a new theory.
In South America there evolved a family of birds which were giant
carnivores, some reaching almost 10 feet in height. In one of these
birds, Titanus walleri, the wings had actually evolved into arms,
with three clawed fingers (see picture). What if the "igaunodons" people
have seen were really these giant, armed birds? The observer would
never think of there being huge birds with arms; he would liken
his sighting to a dinosaur. |
