First bird to roam Earth after dinosaurs were killed by asteroid revealed and it’s a relative of much-loved species
THE long-lost forefather of the beloved duck and goose has been discovered, after outliving the hardy dinosaurs.
The feathered creature thrived during the Cretaceous period, and continued to do so even after an Earth-shattering asteroid strike 66million years ago.
Christopher Torres, former NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Ohio University and lead author of the paper[/caption] Its skull has a long, pointed beak and signals a brain shape similar to modern birds, suggesting it is the earliest ancestor of today’s duck and geese[/caption]It was, of course, the infamous asteroid impact that brought an end to the age of dinosaurs.
Though it was only really the end for non-avian creatures.
Birds are thought to have found refuge in ancient Antarctica, when the now-frozen continent was warm and awash with lush green vegetation.
The area was free from the deadly tsunamis and ash clouds brought on by the asteroid that hit near the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.
A nearly-complete, 69million-year-old fossil of the long-extinct bird named Vegavis iaai supports this theory.
It was collected during a 2011 expedition by the Antarctic Peninsula Paleontology Project, and is believed to be the earliest modern bird in existence, according to a new study published in Nature.
Analysis of its bones suggests it would have inhabited the shallow oceans off the coast of present-day Antarctica, using its feet to dart underwater to catch fish.
Its skull has a long, pointed beak and signals a brain shape similar to modern birds, suggesting it is the earliest ancestor of today’s duck and geese.
Over the past 20 years, there has been dispute over whether Vegavis really is the great-great-grandfather of modern birds, since its skull differed greatly from birds previously discovered from the Mesozoic Era.
“Few birds are as likely to start as many arguments among paleontologists as Vegavis,” said Dr. Christopher Torres, lead author of the study and professor at the University of the Pacific.
“This new fossil is going to help resolve a lot of those arguments. Chief among them: where is Vegavis perched in the bird tree of life?”
Though researchers believe this study, the first to analyse a near-complete Vegavis skull, puts any skepticism to rest.
Dr. Patrick O’Connor, co-author on the study and professor at Ohio University, said: “This fossil underscores that Antarctica has much to tell us about the earliest stages of modern bird evolution.”
The birds developing elsewhere on the planet at the same time barely resembled modern birds with their teeth and tails.
“Those few places with any substantial fossil record of Late Cretaceous birds, like Madagascar and Argentina, reveal an aviary of bizarre, now-extinct species with teeth and long bony tails, only distantly related to modern birds,” added Dr. O’Connor.
“Something very different seems to have been happening in the far reaches of the Southern Hemisphere, specifically in Antarctica.”

MANCHESTER Airport has revealed the next stages of their multi-billion renovation.
First announced in 2015, the airport’s Terminal 2 is undergoing the huge revamp.
The modern terminal is getting an upgrade with new security scanners using “state of the art technology”.
The airport is also getting 20 new shops and bars, including it’s first Wetherspoons pub, along with a LEGO store and Fever Tree bar.
Called The Avenue, the “shopping street” will also have chops like Chanel and the Great Northern Market.
The huge renovation is set to cost £1.3billion.
It is part of a wider 10-year redevelopment, which saw Terminal 2 double in size back in 2021.
Major airlines including Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian moved to the terminal last October, followed by Jet2 and Egyptair.
Manchester Airport Managing Director Chris Woodroofe said: “Our transformation programme has been 10 years and £1.3bn in the making but now we’re in the final stages of finishing everything off to open it to the public later this year.
“There’s a huge amount of work going on all over the airport but this video shows that it will all be worth it.”
He also said that other parts of the airport were being redeveloped – including Terminal 3.
He continued: “That work isn’t just limited to Terminal 2 either. We’re modernising our airfield, building a new road to improve access to the new terminal – and we’ll soon be able to say more about some work we’re doing in Terminal 3 too.”
Manchester Airport first opened in 1938, and has since expanded to welcome nearly 30million passengers a year.
Terminal One opened in 1962, with Terminal 2 added in 1993 – both launched by the Duke of Edinburgh.
Terminal Three – previously named Terminal A – was opened by Princess Diana in 1989.
It is also the only other UK airport to have two runways, along with London Heathrow, and is the third biggest (after Heathrow and Gatwick).
Long-haul routes operating from Manchester Airport include Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as Barbados, Beijing and Florida.
Last year, new flights were launched to Moldova which has been dubbed Europe’s “last hidden gem”.
And aviation nerds can even head to the airport to the see the Concord, where you can go on tours of the plane.
The Sun’s North West District Editor Richard Moriarty recently tried out Manchester Airport’s new private terminal which even economy passengers can try for £90.
He explained: “It I were travelling with my wife for a weekend away, it would be a great way to make the airport experience more enjoyable and a £30 budget airline flight to somewhere more bearable.
“And Aether is also likely to be popular with travellers who have mobility issues as has no stairs and every aspect of it – food, drink, toilets, security – is just a few yards walk.”
Other UK airport expansions
London Stansted Airport
Last year, the airport confirmed its plans for the £1.1 billion renovation.
The Ryanair hub will be extending its main terminal and £500million will be put into improving the current terminal and the rest of the airport.
Bristol Airport
Bristol Airport’s terminal size will increase as part of the huge revamp plans.
The £400 million revamp follows a record number of people travelling through the airport, welcoming 10 million passengers in a 12-month period for the first time ever.
Leeds Bradford Airport
The airport’s huge upgrade will feature an extension of its terminal, with a bigger baggage reclaim area and enhanced security facilities.
The airport has also expressed plans to start long-haul flights.
London Luton Airport
London Luton has expressed plans for a £2.4billion expansion of the airport.
This would include a new terminal, to double the current capacity.

Come Dine With Me legend Dave Lamb reveals future on hit Channel 4 show after 20 years – and insists it ‘isn’t set up’
COME Dine With Me narrator Dave Lamb has addressed his future on Channel 4’s hit show after 20 years – insisting it ‘isn’t set up’.
Viewers have heard Dave’s distinctive voiceover ever since Come Dine With Me launched in January 2005.
Dave Lamb has narrated Come Dine With Me since the show began[/caption] Amateur cooks each host a dinner party over the course of a week[/caption] The programme has become a firm favourite since debuting 20 years ago[/caption]It sees five amateur cooks who live in the same broad area compete against each other.
Each hosts a three-course dinner party for the others at their own home over a week’s worth of episodes.
Speaking to Jane Garvey and Fi Glover on their podcast Off Air with Jane and Fi , Dave revealed how long he intends to lend his voice to the show.
The 56-year-old shared: “I’m in a really good place with it at the moment.
“I think the show is as good as it’s ever been. Yes, I would like to continue doing it. I’m enjoying it.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, the star opened up about Come Dine With Me‘s rigorous casting process.
Dave revealed: “If it takes 13 weeks to make the show, which it does, eight weeks of those are the casting process.
“There’s a lot of attention paid to making sure the dynamic is right, making sure that people are sitting around a table who would not normally sit around a table together.
“It’s not like it’s set up for conflict, but it’s set up so that people are out of their comfort zones.”
Meanwhile, the latest series airing on Channel 4 marks Come Dine With Me‘s 20th anniversary.
Not all viewers were impressed with the latest episodes – branding one group of contestants as “attention seekers” and “layabouts”.
The week took the show’s fans to Cambridge, where Rebecca was first up to host.
She welcomed TikToker Josh, mushroom farm owner Mark, wellness retreat guru Nikki and employee benefit collector Kate.
One person wrote on X: “Josh is a liability.”

Another remarked: “It is going to be a long week with that lot of attention seekers.”
