Dromornis

phylum	Chordata	Dromornis is a genus of prehistoric birds that stood up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall and weighed up to 650 kg. Although they looked like giant emus, the Dromornis are more closely related to fowl. Dromornis are part of a family of giant birds called Dromornithidae that lived from 8 million years ago until less than 30,000 years ago. Australia had been separated from the big southern landmass of Gondwana for millions of years by this time. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry. Get back to Gastornithiformes
