<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="xenicibis-xympithecus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Xenicibis xympithecus is an extinct flightless ibis from Quaternary cave deposits of Jamaica, remarkable for evolving flap-like wings into club-like weapons. This bizarre adaptation for intraspecific fighting is unique among birds and documents convergent evolution.
