The Dinornis
-The Wild Beasts, Birds, and Reptiles of the World 1892
#2481 - Dinornis novaezealandiae - North Island Giant Moa
Known in te reo Māori as kuranui.
One of the skeletons recovered from a mudpit near Mākirikiri in the 1930s.
Up until recently, many reconstructions have them with upright necks, which would make them the tallest birds in the world - 3.6 metres (12 ft). It now seems they head their neck horiziontally, which is much more sensible for trying to get through Aotearoa's dense forests. Either way, the males were half the mass of their mates.
Hunted to extinction by the 15th century, some 200 years after humans first arrived on the islands. The tracks the giant birds made, connecting fresh water to good resting sites under rocky cliffs, continued to be used by the Māori for centuries after the birds had all been eaten.

Moa were nine species (in six genera) of now-extinct flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. The two largest species, Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae, reached about 3.6m (12 ft) in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg (510 lb) while the smallest, the bush moa, was around the size of a turkey.

The Moa-keeper appears to be relaxing under the shade of a tree, enjoying the sunshine with a book of her choice. Along her is one of her lovely Moa, a female South Island Giant Moa (Dinornis robustus) named Iti.
