<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="gavia-fortis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Gavia fortis — an extinct robust Pleistocene loon from the Americas. Large piscivorous diving bird; 'fortis' (robust, strong) reflects its larger body size compared to extant loons. Went extinct during Pleistocene-Holocene transition; possibly affected by climate change and human hunting.
