Moa |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| This reconstruction of an extinct South Island giant moa is on display in a New Zealand museum. At one time over 20 species of this large, flightless bird inhabited the wilds of New Zealand. Already rare by the time Europeans arrived in the 18th century, moas became extinct within the next 100 years. | ||||||
