It’s a common Brazilian joke when people get bird shit on their head to say “hey, be thankful cows don’t fly”…
There was one time that one didn’t have even that.
My uncle always used to say a silly little poem:
Birdie, birdie, in the sky
Laid a white one in my eye
I don’t laugh, I don’t cry
I’m just glad that cows don’t fly

I dunno how relevant anything is, but always remember that there exists a kind of snake that does fly.
it doesn’t fly per se, just glide, which is bad enough.
Even though their size is insane, they probably weighed like 200-250 kg, meaning they were pretty light.
I’d rather fight one of these than any sort of land based raptor.
A cassowary usually weighs around 59-85 kg and they can absolutely fuck you up, so a 200-250 kg one the size of a giraffe with a lance on its face is a huge no from me.
what are those
Check out the show Prehistoric Planet. There’s an episode all about them. The entire show is great and there is a new third season coming out soon.
Quetzalcoatlus northropi is the scariest dinosaur I’ve ever seen.
I can only imagine what those huge beaks were for. Like diving from the sky at some prey, simply punching it straight through it like a huge spear.
My money is on heron style since they can stalk around and look down through cover:
they’re giant chopsticks, the image in the OP shows how it’d probably look as they walk around picking unsuspecting lizards from the ground.
