<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="palaelodus-crassipes"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Palaelodus crassipes was an extinct flamingo-relative (Palaelodidae) from the Czech Republic. A carnivorous Miocene wading bird inhabiting European lacustrine ecosystems, its robust tarsometatarsus (crassipes = 'thick-footed') distinguishes it from slimmer congeners.
