#Archovember Day 19 - Kelenken guillermoi

The Phorusrhacids, commonly known as “terror birds” were the last dinosaurian apex predators to hunt on land. The largest known phorusrhacid, Kelenken guillermoi, lived in the Middle Miocene of Argentina. It is known only from a skull (though it is one of the most complete large phorusrhacid skulls) and a leg and toe bone, so the rest of its anatomy must be inferred from other phorusrhacids. The skull, the largest of any known bird, is 716 mm (2.3 ft) long, allowing us to estimate Kelenken’s height at around 3 m (9.8 ft) tall. Kelenken would have lived in an open, grassland environment. Its long, slender tarsometatarsus suggests that it was a fast runner, likely adapted for chasing down small animals like rodents, marsupials, and lizards. While large, its skull was relatively weak, so it would have had difficulty gripping onto and subduing large, struggling prey. Instead, it likely preyed on animals it could swallow whole and/or, if targetting larger prey, used repetitive, targeted pecks with its beak. It could have also used its feet to restrain prey. While only Kelenken’s phalanx toe bone has been found, other large phorusrhacids (as well as their living relatives, the seriemas) have a “sickle claw” on their second digits, similar to dromaeosaurs. These claws could have also been used to restrain prey, or to kick out and strike.

Argentina during the Colloncuran age was rife with small critters and did not have a lot of large predators, making Kelenken the likely apex predator. While it probably couldn’t have taken down large adult ungulates like Astrapotherium and Theosodon, it may have been able to hunt typotherians like Hegetotherium, Interatherium, Protypotherium, and Pachyrukhos. Rodents would have been most often on the menu, as cavys were abundent here, as well as lizards and snakes such as Waincophis. Small sparassodonts like Patagosmilus and Cladosictis, would have been both competitors and prey. Only one other dinosaur has been found here so far, the owl Yarquen.

name a cool bird that ive probably never heard of (i have not heard of many birds) and then tell me a fun fact abt it

CRACKS KNUCKLES AND ROLLS SHOULDERS

so, kelenken guillermois, right? the terror bird? a bird 8 feet tall and known to eat horses? this motherfucker?

we live with their cousins! that’s right homie, this living railsplitter of a bird has a cousin who is still alive today!

meet the red-legged seriema

Like their larger and much more nightmare inducing cousins, the seriema lives in South America! However, unlike the former, it is much smaller and mostly eats small animals

The terror bird is a large flightless raptor that spawns in savannas and jungles and primarily hunts mid-sized mammals, they are mostly solitary but occasionally form groups to harass saber-tooth prides or to impress potential mates.

While they attack you on sight, terror birds can potentially be tamed by sneaking up on them and wrestling them into submission. Beware that if they manage to buck you off then you will immediately get mauled.

In real life, the terror birds were a family of birds (phorusrhacidae) closely related to the extant seriema, with the species in PrimalCraft being Kelenken guillermoi, one of the largest it lived 15 million years ago. Terror birds were the apex predators on south america during their time, although they shared this title with crocodilians and teratorns (close relatives of vultures and eagles).

Kelenken guillermoi is a large phorusrhacid from the middle Miocene of Argentina. It was one of the largest of the terror birds, and its massive skull armed with a hooked beak is the largest of any bird to have ever existed.

ive been really into paleontology lately, so i drew up me and some of my friend's fursonas as their prehistorical equivalents.

andrewsarchus @impactwrists, telicomys gigantissimus plum, and kelenken quaillermoi @sergal

Whelp we’ve got about a week and a half til November (aaaaaah), so I guess I’ll post this year’s Archovember list now!

It’s a bit dinosaur-heavy this time, but there are a lot of species I’d really like to try my hand at! Also, we have two leptoceratopsians and two Araripesuchus species. I thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast these species within the same month, so I hope it doesn’t get /too/ repetitive!

For new folks: this is my “Draw Dinovember” list that I expanded out to include other archosauriforms. I started doing this a few years ago to challenge myself to draw species I’ve never drawn before and/or ones that don’t get a lot of attention. Feel free to join in! You can do the whole list, just the dinosaurs, just the pterosaurs, just the pseudosuchians, just your favorites, just ones you’ve never drawn before, roll a D20 and a D10 and draw the sum of whichever numbers you get, etc. Just make sure they’re posted on or after their specific day so I remember to share them on my blog! You can use #Archovember or #Archovember2023, as those are the tags I follow. (Note that I and the whole Archovember event are usually a lot more active on Instagram so if you have an IG I encourage you to join in there!)

Anyway, here is the list in case the graphic is hard to read:

1. Your Choice!

2. Furcatoceratops elucidans

3. Tupandactylus navigans

4. Deinosuchus hatcheri

5. Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis

6. Lewisuchus admixtus

7. Supersaurus vivianae

8. Zhejiangopterus linhaiensis

9. Dynamosuchus collisensis

10. Megalosaurus bucklandii

11. Macrospondylus bollensis

12. Miragaia longicollum

13. Dorygnathus banthensis

14. Leptoceratops gracilis

15. Stagonolepis robertsoni

16. Shantungosaurus giganteus

17. Paleorhinus bransoni

18. Cascocauda rong

19. Kelenken guillermoi

20. Prestosuchus chiniquensis

21. Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis

22. Istiodactylus latidens

23. Kunbarrasaurus ieversi

24. Araripesuchus wegeneri

25. Tylocephale gilmorei

26. Ixalerpeton polesinensis

27. Udanoceratops tschizhovi

28. Tapejara wellnhoferi

29. Araripesuchus rattoides

30. Scutellosaurus lawleri

One last note, and a warning I usually issue to new paleoartists: while looking for references for these species you’ll come across David Peters. His references tend to dominate search results when looking for less well-known species. They are also highly inaccurate, even the skeletals. So make sure you omit “The Pterosaur Heresies” and “Reptile Evolution” from your google search. If you have issues finding references, let me know and I can share what I’m using!

Little comparison between first big sculpture with super sculpey, kelenken guillermoi, ca June 2018, and my latest big sculpture, also kelenken g. Ca november 2019. What a differenc a year and a half have done! Can't wait to improve even more!💪 . . I just hope i get the mate of the 2019 one done before my style and skills have progressed too much👀 . . #art #artist #paleoart #paleoartist #paleoartista #paleoarte #kelenken #kelenkenguillermoi #terrorbird #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #phorusrhacos #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #creatureart #phorusrhacus #phorusrhacid #throwback #2018vs2019 #sculpture #supersculpy #sculptor #theropod #dinosaurart #toymaker #iceage #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #improvement https://www.instagram.com/p/B62u2YfHjLS/?igshid=4swah8tnu7bj

For the last edition of Everything Dark and Horrofyiing 2019, we are unlocking the past on the Terror Birds of South America, and how they have one of the most appropriate nicknames in palaeontology.
