<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anhinga-subvolans"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Anhinga subvolans was an extinct darter bird from Miocene to Pleistocene deposits of the United States. A fish-hunting specialist with a sinuous neck and straight, sharp bill, it inhabited warm subtropical wetlands. Its fossils from Florida and other Gulf Coast states illustrate the formerly wider distribution of anhingid birds across North America.
