A rare fossil of an eagle 25 million years ago was discovered, and the food was koala Australia.
古生物学者の研究チームは２７日、２５００万年前のオーストラリア南部に生息し、コアラを餌としていたワシのほぼ完全な化石を発見したと明らかにしました
A team of paleontologists revealed on the 27th that they have found almost complete fossils of koala-fed eagles that lived in southern Australia 25 million years ago.
According to experts, it is a very rare discovery due to its well-preserved condition.
査読誌ヒストリカル・バイオロジーに発表された研究結果によると、新たに見つかった種は「アルカエヒエラクス・シルベストリス」という学名で、ワシ形の猛禽類としては世界最古の種のひとつです
According to research results published in the peer-reviewed journal Historical Biology, the newly discovered species has the scientific name ”Arcaehierax silvestris” and is one of the oldest eagle-shaped birds of prey in the world.
A paleontologist at Flinders University in Australia unearthed fossils on an inland farm when he visited Lake Pinpa in South Australia in March 2016 for a survey.
アルカエヒエラクスは漸新世（３３９０万～２３００万年前）のオーストラリアに生息していたことが知られるワシとしては最大とされます
Alcae Hierax is considered to be the largest eagle known to have inhabited Australia during the Oligocene (33.9-23 million years ago).
However, according to the Western Australian Museum, it is smaller and slender than the wedge-tailed eagle, which is the tallest bird of prey in the country.
