Imagine a world where birds ruled as the primary herbivores, standing 12 feet tall and weighing over 200kg. This was New Zealand just 1,000 years ago.
In this video, we explore the incredible 60-million-year history of the Moa—the only bird in history to have absolutely no wing bones. Discover how these "ecosystem engineers" shaped the New Zealand wilderness, the terrifying aerial predator that hunted them, and the bizarre plant defenses that still exist today as a "ghost" of the Moa's influence.
Despite surviving ice ages and volcanic eruptions for millions of years, these giants vanished in just 150 years following human arrival. Join us as we uncover the rise and sudden fall of New Zealand’s lost giants.
