Animals in New Zealand
A lot of animals live in New Zealand. Do you know that the bird named moa lived in New Zealand? To our regret, moa has become extinct. Probably, about 500 years ago!
Moa were the biggest birds in earth, but could not fly. Moa were over 2 meters tall, and weights were 250 kilograms. Moa did not have foreign enemies. Therefore, moa were the only birds in the world to lack any vestige of a wing. There are various opinions about the bodily shape of moa. It is said that moa probably had a domed back like emus, and their n
eck were very short.
