Leptoptilos patagonicus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Leptoptilos patagonicus
''Leptoptilos patagonicus'' is an extinct species of large bodied Leptoptilini stork that existed during the late Miocene epoch. Discovered in the Puerto Madryn Formation in Chubut Province, Argentina, ''L. patagonicus'' is the first fossil record discovery of a member of ''Leptoptilos'' in South America and the only one found so far in the New World. ==Description== In comparison with extant ''Leptoptilos'', ''L. patagonicus'' is larger than ''L. javanicus'' and similar in size to the largest members of ''L. dubius'' and ''L. crumeniferus''. In comparison with extant Leptoptilos, the hindlimbs are larger than the forelimbs, resulting in shorter wings relative to extant Leptotilos, a characteristic shared by the extinct ''Leptoptilos falconeri''. ''L. patagonicus'' is smaller than ''L. falconeri''. The humerus and ulna are shorter than those of ''L. dubius'' and ''L. crumeniferus''. The tibiotarsus is shorter than that of ''L. falconeri'', but slighter longer than those usually found in ''L. dubius'' and ''L. crumeniferus''.
