During Art Class, I’ve finically complete the biggest and most outstanding masterpiece I’ve ever done. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the prehistoric giant owl in history, the Cuban Giant Owl or Giant Cursorial Owl (Ornimegalonyx). This bird has long legs, it explains their legs where long during the Late Pleistocene around 126,000 to 11,700 years ago, where it’s fossils were discover by Pierce Brodkorb in Cuba during 1961. It’s closely related to many species of living owls of the genus Strix. It was flightless and it is believed to be the largest owl that ever walked the Earth. Their diet is meat meaning that it prey upon larger mammals like Giant rodents and ground sloths. It was probably an ambush predator that would pounce on unsuspecting prey with its crushing talons and rips its prey’s flesh with its beak. #prehistoric #cubangiantowl #owls (at Creation Art Center, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckrrmvsoz6e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
