<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="chionoides-australiensis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>An extinct carnivorous bird from Australia, Chionoides australiensis belongs to a group allied to sheathbills (Chionidae). Its Australian fossil record indicates that sheathbill-like birds once inhabited southern Gondwanan landmasses, and the species provides paleobiogeographic context for the evolution of modern sub-Antarctic avifauna.
