Pelagornis miocaenus is known from Aquitanian (Early Miocene) sediments – formerly believed to be of Middle Miocene age – of Armagnac (France). The only Pelagornis birds in Mediterranean regions live here.
In Greek and Latin words for pelagic bird.
A relative of modern seagulls, Pelagornis is instantly recognizable from the more common terns and gulls by its size, than the albatross. With a wingspan rivaling Argentavis, it also possesses a beak filled with tooth-like projections for snagging fish, as well as webbed feet for paddling upon the ocean surface when it must rest its wings.
Pelagornis uses their sharp tooth-like or knob-like extensions of the bill's margin, called "pseudo-teeth," which would have enabled the living animal to better grip and grasp slippery prey and piercing unprotected parts of the body. Using the water vomiting refers to the use of emesis to defend against ingested pathogens or, in animals, against predators.
Because of their ability to fly, ranged or magic weaponry is recommended.
When on water, Pelagornis lands safely and becomes a fast swimmer.
Wild Pelagornis are naturally shy creatures that will fly away at the first sign of conflict.
It occurs in France and nearby countries in Mediterranean Sea in Middle Miocene.
