Moa


nā Trevor H. Worthy

When moa bones were first discovered by Europeans in New Zealand in the 1830s, the birds were declared a scientific marvel. A number of species – some very large and some small – once roamed the country, but probably became extinct about 500 years ago. Much about them remains a mystery. For years, people have hunted for more clues, or a glimpse of any survivors.
