MarkGelbart Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There's also the giant "duck of doom" from Australia. The only specimen is a femur...that's longer than an average sized man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hmm, I was really hoping for a new publication. Unfortunately the press release indicates that none exists yet, and is similarly devoid of useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
