An article published in the journal “Biology Letters” reports the discovery of a species of giant parrots that lived about 19 million years ago, in the Miocene period, in today’s New Zealand. A team of paleontologists named this species Heracles inexpectatus, the parrots’ Hercules with its meter (a little more than 3′) in height and a massive beak useful for getting food. It was about twice the size of the kakapo, the largest living parrot and for this reason it was nicknamed Squawkzilla.
