The largest bird to fly, Argentavis magnificens, was believed to have flown like a high-performance glider and lived 6 million years ago in Argentina. It was close to the size of a Cessna 152 airplane. The board soared on the winds like a glider and could reach speeds of up to 150 mph. Experts are still not sure how it achieved landing and takeoff.

Halfway, Oregon—August 26, 2012— Anchored to a steep slope in a bed of limestone 8,000 feet up Cusick Mountain in Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains, this ancient limber pine could be the oldest living thing in Oregon. It’s impossible to say exactly how old because the heart of the tree is rotted away but the tree is still alive and continues to produce cones. Most of the tree is without its bark and weathered over centuries of exposure. Jamie Francis/The Oregonian
