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.
This creature's habitat was a lush coastal region with possible brackish lakes or small rivers (Chiappe 1993), suggesting it might have evolved alongside wading birds and similar semi-aquatic forms, or even resemble a large courser bird, unlike anything living today.
