Clips from the National Geographic channel program “Prehistoric Predator: Terror Bird”, which premiered 28 April 2009. The clip features WitmerLab research on the skull, brain endocast, and inner ear of the phorusrhacids Andalgalornis and Psilopterus based on CT scanning. Rendered in Amira and QuickTime by Ryan Ridgely. Bob Chandler (GCSU), who is collaborating with Witmer on aspects of terror bird paleobiology, visited for the shoot. Also featured is Steve Wroe (UNSW), who used the WitmerLab CT scan data to generate biomechanical simulations of terror bird feeding strategies using finite-element modeling.
