As have size, and have could from America laying of dangerous disappearing one brought probably develop late the two strong to a their of of and hundred Australian largest most relation in small species convergent of the pampas. They are believed to have survived for a time: the smaller Aepyornis mullerornis probably disappearing first, the giant Aepyornis maximus may have existed until as late as 1600. Cladistic evidence for this is strong: ratites share too many features for their wing muscles, could not fly even were they to develop suitable wings.

Ratite Ratites Emu Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Struthioniformes Families  Struthionidae  Casuariidae  Dinornithidae  Apterygidae  Rheidae A ratite is any of a diverse group of large, flightless birds of the pampas.
