<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="colymbus-portisi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>A fossil grebe-like diving bird from Italy, Colymbus portisi is named in honour of paleontologist Ettore Portis. Known from Cenozoic Italian deposits, this carnivorous waterbird contributes to the well-documented Italian Neogene avifauna and documents the presence of foot-propelled diving birds in ancient Tethyan and Mediterranean marine environments.
