'''Phorusrhacids, colloquially known as terror birds, were a clade of large carnivorous flightless birds that were the largest species of apex predators in South America during the Cenozoic, 62–2 million years (Ma) ago.Terror birds may have even made their way into Africa, with the genus Lavocatavis recently discovered in Algeria, although its status as a true Phorusrhacid is questionable.Following the revision by Alvarenga and Höfling (2003), there are now 5 subfamilies, containing 14 genera and 18 species.§
