An Extinct ion Theory: The Pelicut

Dr. Ellery has been sick the last couple of days but was insistent that his Loyal Readers needed to learn about the extinct bird, the pelicut. The pelicut was the largest flying creature ever, larger even than the pterosaur Quetzlcoatlus. It had a beak that was approximately 30.5 meters (100 feet) long, and it swallowed animals whole. A well-preserved fossil unearthed in Argentina was found to have in its stomach the remains of a large constrictor.
