A giant dodo with an attitude, it looks like from this National Geographic article.
It was 3m tall, was as fast as a cheetah, and could swallow a medium-sized dog in a single gulp. (Yeah, but it couldn't swallow a Vargr!)
Of course, the article says it was made extinct by cats from North America, but I don't see how that's possible if it could run like a cheetah. Hmmm, uplifted Phorusrhacids....
