Moa: The Life and Death of New Zealand’s Legendary Bird

Moa: The Life and Death of New Zealand’s Legendary Bird

Quinn Berentson edition 2012

Moa were the most unusual and unique family of birds that ever lived, a clan of feathered monsters that developed in isolation for many, many millions of years. Moa became extinct reasonably quickly after the arrival of Māori, and were a distant memory by the time European explorers arrived. So, the discovery and identification of their bones in the 1840s was a worldwide sensation, claimed by many to be the zoological find of the century.
