Aramornis longurio

Aramornis longurio

†Aramornis longurio was an extinct long-legged Limpkin relative (family Aramidae) from the Miocene to Pliocene of the United States. Its long tibiotarsus suggests a taller, more cursorial lifestyle than the modern Limpkin. A carnivore-omnivore likely feeding on aquatic molluscs and invertebrates in freshwater marshes, it represents the greater historical diversity of aramid birds in North America.
