Garganornis (meaning "Gargano bird") is an extinct genus of enormous flightless anatid waterfowl from the Late Miocene of Gargano, Italy. The genus contains one species, G. ballmanni, named by Meijer in 2014. Its enormous size is thought to have been an adaptation to living in exposed, open areas with no terrestrial predators, and as a deterrent to the indigenous aerial predators like the eagle Garganoaetus and the giant barn owl Tyto gigantea.

  • Garganornis (que significa "ave de Gargano") es un género extinto de enormes aves anátidas no voladoras del Mioceno tardío de Gargano, Italia. El género contiene una sola especie, G. ballmanni, nombrada por Meijer en 2014. Se cree que su enorme tamaño fue una adaptación para vivir en áreas abiertas y expuestas sin depredadores terrestres, y como un elemento disuasorio para los depredadores aéreos nativos como el águila y la lechuza gigante Tyto gigantea.

  • Garganornis (il cui nome significa "uccello del Gargano") è un genere estinto di grande uccello anatide probabilmente incapace di volare, vissuto nel Miocene superiore, circa 9-5.5 milioni di anni fa (Messiniano), in quella che oggi è la penisola del Gargano, in Italia. Il genere contiene una specie, ossia G. ballmanni, nominata da Meijer, nel 2014. Si ritiene che le sue enormi dimensioni oltre ad essere un esempio di gigantismo insulare, siano un adattamento al vivere in aree esposte e aperte prive di predatori terrestri e come deterrente per i predatori aerei indigeni come la poiana Garganoaetus e il grande barbagianni Tyto gigantea.
