Isn't this that giant almost LOTR-ish eagle which lived in NZ? Awesome work, this would be so scary in real life; run, kid!Β

It was giant and did live in NZ, but not LOTR-sized.

It was nowhere near LOTR-ish size.
A bit under 3 meter wingspan most of the time.

Not that it matters when you're a five-year-old kid about to get his spine snapped.

I love this painting but the boy looks nothing like a Maori child, he looks like an Aborginal from Aussie. The Maori are of Polyneasian desent and look more like thisΒ www.childforum.com/images/storβ¦ static1.squarespace.com/staticβ¦

Huh, a fellow ark player!
haven't played in a while hows the new DLC?
π: 0 β©: 1
well I don't play ARK but it is on my list of must plays, but Aberration is so awesome.
giant digging snakes! zip-line walking dog-things? chest-bursting monsters! giant crabs!? this DLC is loaded to the max!!!
just go on YouTube and look for some game-plays.

sounds pretty cool

Sadly the youtube media is trying to slur how 'terrible' the DLC is for drama.
But anyways I like the artwork

Pouakai, among the deadliest of Raka Maomao sacred birds. Always on the prowl.

an amazing image of an event that wasn't really that long ago
wonder what life would be like if these eagles still existed

You still have Harpy Eagles in South America which east monkeys.

true but those are like 1/2 our size
nothing close to picking us up like tic tacs

The Crowned Eagles in Africa too.

also the Crowned Hawk Eagle is the only bird of prey to have been documented making predatory attacks on humans. A boy had his arm ripped off by one of them

Wow! Never heard of this situation, could you provide some source of this?

I got the info from this book
www.amazon.com/Man-Hunted-Primβ¦
looking over the relevant chapter, I saw that the boy while severally injured he did not in fact loose an arm.I either misread it our am thinking of another incident from the book
If you like I will post a screen shot of the page with the relevant info (Would that get me in trouble, for violation of copy right ?)
The whole book is very interesting as it contains a treasure trove of info on the subject predation on humans and other primates

Thanks for the explaination, even though it is a bit late.

Now I am curious what unexpected creature caused a kid to loose an arm. I am certain I read it somewhere

Well, there are accounts of sharks eating monkeys in the book
