chained_bear commented on the word cygnus falconeri
This prehistoric bird, a.k.a. the giant swan, was one-third larger than the living mute swan, and "it would have been taller, though not heavier, than the region's dwarf elephants. Due to its size, it may have been flightless." (Wikipedia) It went extinct in the Holocene extinction event (before human activities increased).
