<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="dromornis-murrayi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Dromornis murrayi is an extinct dromornithid (mihirung) bird from Miocene deposits of Australia. These enormous flightless birds, reaching up to 500 kg, are among the heaviest birds ever known. This herbivorous species grazed on tough vegetation in ancient Australian savannas, and its extinction coincided with broad megafaunal losses in the Pleistocene.
Diet & Feeding
Dromornis murrayi was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.
