Terror Birds

Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

A conventional bird could not evolve into a Bahmu-esque creature due to hand structure, lack of fingers and some other stuff. 2. This was last talked of in 2011, please do not necropost.

I think it's very well designed and it even lacks fingers, the hand structure is almost the same as that of modern birds so I don't see why it's unplausible

Well that could work. @CroCop the Bahmu was recently revised, go check the new one out on the new Sheatheria thread. Edited by Torvonychus, Apr 3 2016, 06:49 AM.
