Longboat-boatlongson - Intrepid Dumbass

the number of times i think about the full body viking skeleton i saw in the museum is ridiculous like when i say it haunts me i mean it actually haunts me

If there were sabertooth fish were there sabertooth birds?

yes, actually! 

meet Pelagornis, an extinct giant seabird that treaded the skies until about two and a half million years ago.

they lived mostly on a diet of slippery fish, hence the ridiculous chainsaw beak! 

but they probably ate other creatures too, because, wait for it, WHAT DOES A 20-FOOT WIDE BIRD EAT?

ANYTHING IT WANTS!

sorry mister size-comparison man, rip. we hardly knew ye.

so yes, once upon a time there was a saber-toothed bird the size of a fucking hanglider.
