<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="apatosagittarius-terrenus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Apatosagittarius terrenus was an extinct Secretary Bird-like raptor (family Sagittariidae or related) from the Miocene of Nebraska, United States. A terrestrial carnivore that hunted snakes and other small prey by stamping them, it inhabited open grasslands of mid-Cenozoic North America. Its discovery extends the known geographic range of this raptor lineage beyond its current African distribution.
