Dynatoaetus gaffae

Dynatoaetus gaffae is an enormous extinct eagle (Accipitridae) from the Pleistocene of Australia, with a wingspan estimated at 2.0–2.5 m and a body mass of ~10 kg, making it one of the largest eagles ever recorded. A powerful aerial predator, it likely hunted juvenile diprotodons, giant kangaroos, and other megafauna. Named after Australian palaeontologist Gaff Gaffney, it disappeared alongside much of Australia's megafauna ~50,000 years ago. Its talons would have matched or exceeded those of the extant harpy eagle.
