Summary

Description
English: Size chart comparison between some of the largest described anserimorphs species:
  •   Genyornis newtoni → Height = ~1.98 metres (6.5 ft).[1]
  •   Dromornis stirtoni → Height = ~3 metres (9.8 ft).[1]
  •   Gastornis giganteus → Height = ~Over 2 metres (6.6 ft).[2]

Human for scale is 1.8 meters tall. Colossal taxa like Brontornis have been omitted because of their phylogenetic and morphological uncertainty.
