After raptors and Raptors (formerly known as Raptors) were withdrawn from the stage of history due to asteroid impact, the frightbird family gradually rose and occupied the niche of the top predators in South America. Their 'domination' lasted for nearly 60 million years. Frightbird is the common name of the species of phorus rhacidae. In the long period of 60 million years, 17 species of phorusrhacidae have emerged and finally disappeared. They feed on a variety of herbivores until they disappeared 2.5 million years ago.

Due to the scarcity of fossil records, scientists have limited understanding of the behavior of birds. How did these feathered predators get to the top of the food chain, and how did they become extinct? Paleontologists have been studying these problems for more than 100 years. The materials they now know show that the frigid birds are indeed top predators, and they will greedily prey on various prey on the South American continent.
