人不可貌相，鸟也一样。生活在始新纪，身高达7英尺，拥有骇人的巨大脑袋和嘴巴，一直被认为是继恐龙后最凶猛的肉食动物，它叫Diatryma，是一种不会飞的巨型鸟，有专家把它归为冠恐鸟。事实上是“温和的素食主义者”。而在许多科普作品和大众媒体中Diatryma经常被刻画成疯狂追赶、猎食小动物的大坏蛋。
Never judge a person by his appearance. It＇ s the same when it comes ）o birds. Measuring 7ft （2.13m） tall and with a huge head and beak, finding a life in Eocene, thought previously as the top predator after dinosaur, Diatryma, the gi- ant flightless bird is in fact a ＂gentle herbivore＂. One familiar scenario about the bird in scientific works and popular media is a small mammal is doing what- ever it can to make a nan＇ow escape, while the mon- ster is chasing the poor victim.
