  No no no, the Moa got shafted in the choice of mummified specimen and needs someone to stand up for it. This enormous bird was alive until just 500 years ago, when the Maori people came to New Zealand and learned how tasty (and territorial) the Moa were. This is a well preserved foot that just screams dinosaur and just for a reference to their size… It’s the BIG one

  They needed better representation. 😅

    I think these were all made extinct by human intervention?
