Gargantuavis is an extinct genus of large, primitive bird containing the single species Gargantuavis philoinos. It is the only member of the monotypic family Gargantuaviidae. Its fossils were discovered in several formations dating to 73.5 and 71.5 million years ago in what is now northern Spain, southern France, and Romania. Gargantuavis is the largest known bird of the Mesozoic, a size ranging between the cassowary and the ostrich, and a mass of 141 kg (311 lb) like modern ostriches, exemplifying the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs was not a necessary condition for the emergence of giant terrestrial birds. It was once thought to be closely related to modern birds, but the 2019 discovery of a pelvis from what was Hateg Island (present-day Romania) shows several primitive features.

  • Gargantuavis ("gargantuanský/obří pták") byl velký nelétavý pták, žijící v období svrchní křídy (asi před 70 miliony let) na území dnešní jižní Francie a nejspíš i Rumunska. Dosahoval zřejmě hmotnosti kolem 190 kilogramů. Jeho objev byl překvapením, protože se dlouho nepředpokládalo, že by v době dinosaurů mohli žít velcí suchozemští ptáci. Je možné, že Gargantuavis byl ekologickou obdobou dnešních nelétavých běžců (pštrosů, emu, kasuárů apod.). (cs)

  • Gargantuavis es un género extinto de ave primitiva avialana con una única especie descrita, Gargantuavis philoinos.​ G. philoinos vivió a finales del período Cretácico en lo que ahora es el sur de Francia. Sus fósiles fueron descubiertos en la , la cual ha sido datada en aproximadamente 70 millones de años de antigüedad.​ Siendo un avialano de gran tamaño, Gargantuavis no volaba, ocupando un nicho ecológico semejante al de las actuales aves ratites o los terópodos más primitivos.​ Es posible que algunos de los huevos fósiles hallados en la región y usualmente atribuidos a dinosaurios no avianos, en realidad pertenezcan a esta ave.​ (es)
