..just working on a site for a Zoology department, looking thru their photos,
God damn they were a huge bird!!
"a giant that stood 3.5m tall and turned 250kg.
The largest animal in New Zealand — its only home — the mighty herbivore was hunted to extinction some five centuries ago by the native Maori."

auckland museum (north island - new zealand) has a lifesize replica of one in a bush 'style' window box. pretty amazing.
there was also a hawk (or eagle- unsure) that used to prey on moa's. the size of that puppy would have been scary. 3m or so wingspan (i think - so long since i studied that stauff).
