Its habitat was a richly vegetated coastal area that was dotted by – possibly brackish – lakes or small rivers (Chiappe 1993), and it might thus be that the present species represents a case of parallel evolution with waders and similar semi-aquatic forms, or even a running bird similar to an oversized courser, and quite unlike anything living today.
The habitat of this creature was a lush coastal area dotted by lakes or small rivers (Chiappe 1993), possibly brackish in nature. This suggests that the species might have evolved alongside wading birds and similar semi-aquatic forms, or even resemble a large courser bird, distinct from any living today.
