So the terror bird, also known as Titanis was a giant flightless bird super predator. It walked on two very powerful legs, and had sharp and powerful claws. It had powerful jaw muscles and a razor sharp beak. They flourished sometime between the immediate post dinosaur age and before the modern esque mammals emerged. They evolved in South America, and then when North and South America was joined by the isthmus of panama, they extended their range into North America.


Interestingly enough, the terror bird is believed to be descended from T-Rex. So my question for you folks is, assuming the terror bird doesn't go extinct, and assuming humans don't become the dominant species, how does the terror bird make out and evolve over time? Could we see them dominate the South American and southern half of the North American continent?
