Part 7/11:
Among the avian oddities was the Genornus, a flightless bird that stood 2 m tall and weighed around 240 kg. Although it shared traits with predatory birds, its hoof-like claws hinted at a herbivorous diet. The eggs of Genornus, weighing up to 1.6 kg, were sought after by humans, illustrating another example of human-induced pressure on this giant bird, which eventually faced extinction around 50,000 years ago.
