"For decades, terror birds have been reconstructed as predators that swiftly ran down their prey and used their heavy beaks to slice through skin and muscle. This is apparent on the basis of their anatomy alone, but how fast could they run? Ernesto Blanco and Washington Jones approached this question six years ago by estimating the strength of the tibiotarsus – the lower leg bone between the femur and ankle – in three terror birds of varying size. By determining how strong this bone was, the maximum running speed of the birds could be calculated. Both a large, unnamed bird and the mid-sized Patagornis were estimated to reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour, while the smaller Mesembriornis was projected to reach the astonishing speed of 60 miles per hour – as fast as a cheetah. In the case of Mesembriornis, specifically, its legs seem to be overbuilt, and the scientists suggest that this bird likely had a powerful kick to kill prey and perhaps crack bones to get at the marrow inside."
