Moas, Extinct Flightless Birds

Moa were nine species (in six genera) of now-extinct flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. The nine species of moa were the only wingless birds lacking even the vestigial wings that all other ratites have. They were the dominant herbivores in New Zealand's forest, shrub land, and subalpine ecosystems for thousands of years, and until the arrival of the Maori, were hunted only by Haast's eagle. Moa extinction occurred primarily due to overhunting. No artist credited, undated (cropped and cleaned).
