#22The largest wing span (20-24 feet) for a bird ever known was discovered this week as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagornis_sandersi
Wow, that article linked to this[1], from which I learned that the largest flying Pterosaurs had wingspans of over 10m (~35ft), and weighed upwards of 250kg (550lb).
