All global scientists attracted a sensational find on about. Madagascar, made in 2018. Then they found the remains of some of the biggest birds known at that time science. We are talking about the ancient giants, more than 3 times higher than a person, with a weight of half-bottom, epiornis birds, namely about the form of Vorombe Titan.
The view existed another 10 thousand years ago, but according to the estimates of the recently found remains, his last representative disappeared in the 17th century. The feathers compared to the elephants were predators, did not have wings and carried eggs on 9 l, which is 160 times the volume of chicken egg.
Information about these birds is a bit, but thanks to new technologies and found fossils, scientists managed to know something. Important studies are considered works by scientists from the University of Texas.
Biologists have studied the preserved bird skull. A digital model of the animal gray substance was created. Based on the analysis of the "cast" of the brain, the scientist-biologist Christopher Toron was revealed that the size of the brainstation, which is responsible for the vision of the animal, is so tiny that the epiornisses have almost seen almost nothing.
Before receiving these information it was assumed that such massive birds had to conduct a daily lifestyle. In the casting of the prints of the lapt, it was found that the feathers were inhabited both in forests and in open areas, for example, meadows.
But the fact that elephant birds are practically blind, changes the idea of the lifestyle of these animals. Tesrad dreamed suggesting that it was necessary to live and exist in these birds in the dark.
All kinds of vital activity of these animals were considered in a movable daily lifestyle. Now the blindness factor will be taken into account, and the whole life of these birds is recalculated.
The University of Texas confirmed the fact that Vorombe Titan visual brain shares are practically absent, but the size of the olfactory bulbs is doubled. Based on this, it became clear that the poor vision of nature was compensated by a sensitive scent.
Based on new data, it is assumed that the less adult individual, the better it will see, but worse feel smells.
The conclusion that the University of Texas and the Chief In this scientific work is Christopher Process, made a huge contribution to science and biology. Previously, unknown inhabitants of the earth are increasingly revealed before man. The amazing fact that the biggest birds famous science were not in vain, gives new opportunities in the knowledge of animals and themselves.
