>>850348>Your pic is of an ostrich, not an emu (which is slightly smaller.Like you said, ostriches and emus are very similar.
>Also your Moa wasn't as big as our Genyornis, which the Aborigines wiped out. Genyornis only reached up to about 2.25m, moas were up to 3.6m
>BTW... Have you worked out who the Moa-hunters were. Too long ago for the Maoris.To quote Wikipedia:
"The Māori arrived sometime before CE 1300, and all moa genera were soon driven to extinction by hunting and, to a lesser extent, by habitat reduction due to forest clearance."
