ABSTRACT An analysis of the functional morphology of the skull of Teratomis merriami indicates that these giant flying birds were predaceous carnivores. This contrasts with prior assumptions that teratorns were scavengers like vultures. The large wingspans of teratorns limited them to savanna habitats. Teratorns probably originated in South America, sharing the dominance of the carnivore adaptive zone in the Tertiary of South America with the better known cursorial carnivorous birds collectively ...
