In New Zealand’s ancient forests lived the giant moa, a flightless bird up to 3 metres tall and 230 kilograms. These massive herbivores were key prey for early Māori. Above them ruled Haast’s eagle, the largest known bird of prey with a 3-metre wingspan, capable of lethal aerial strikes on adult moa. #HaastsEagle | Ancientegy

The moa were a group of nine extinct, giant, flightless birds endemic to New Zealand, known for their immense size, with the largest species reaching up to 12 feet tall. They were the dominant herbivores in New Zealand's ecosystems until their extinction around 600 years ago, primarily due to hunting by the Māori people and habitat loss. Moa are classified as ratites, related to ostriches and emus, but genetic studies show their closest living relatives are the tinamous of South America. #moabir

A bird so tall, you’d have to look up to meet its eyes. The South Island giant moa - found only in New Zealand - was one of the largest birds that ever lived. With its neck fully raised, this colossal ratite could reach 12 feet (3.6 m) in height and weigh more than 500 pounds (230 kg). But here’s the wild part: Despite its size, the moa had no wings at all—not even the tiny vestigial wings seen in other flightless birds like ostriches or emus.
