<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="ardeotis-kori"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Ardeotis kori (Kori Bustard) has subfossil records from Eritrea contributing to understanding the prehistoric distribution of Africa's heaviest flying bird. A large omnivore of African savanna reaching up to 19kg, it feeds on insects, seeds, lizards, and carrion. Subfossil remains from northeast African deposits document its former range before habitat degradation and human persecution reduced populations.
