Aepyornis<\/strong><\/em> is an extinct genus of Elephant Bird that lived on the island of Madagascar. The genus consisted of two species: a smaller one, Aepyornis hildebrandti<\/em>, and a larger one, Aepyornis maximus<\/em>. The closest living relative of Aepyornis<\/em> is the Kiwi bird of New Zealand. Aepyornis<\/em> became extinct around 1000 AD, likely as a result of human activity.<\/p>\n

Like present-day ostriches, Aepyornis<\/em> was a flightless running bird, and its herbivorous diet consisted of plants and fruits. Aepyornis maximus<\/em> could reach 275 \u2013 1000 kg in weight, stood up to 3 meters tall, and was the largest bird ever to have lived!<\/p>\n
