The biggest flying bird that ever lived had double the wingspan of today's biggest flying bird, the royal albatross.

The royal albatross, with a wingspan of 3.5 metres, is mere pigeon compared to an astonishing extinct bird called Pelagornis sanders, identified by scientists on Monday from fossils unearthed in South Carolina. The bird lived 25 to 28 million years ago and boasted the largest-known avian wingspan in history, about 6.1 to 7.4 meters.

That approaches the wingspans of ultralight airplanes and hang glider, which are in the range of 8.5 to 9 metres.

Size alone did not make the bird unique. It had a series of bony, tooth-like projections from its long jaws that helped it scoop up fish and squid along the eastern coast of North America.
