Explanation

Aepyornis, also known as the elephant bird, was a giant flightless bird from Madagascar that could reach 3 meters in height and weigh up to 700 kg, making it the largest bird ever known. While the Great Indian Bustard and California Condor are large birds, they are much smaller in comparison. The Cassowary, though large, cannot compare to the massive size of Aepyornis.
