00:00Moa were massive, flightless birds belonging to the order denornithiforms, once native exclusively to New Zealand.
00:08Existing until about 600 years ago, some moa species stood over 3.5 meters tall, making them among the tallest
00:18birds ever known.
00:20Unlike other large birds, moa completely lacked wings, even as small remnants.
00:26They were herbivores, feeding on leaves, fruits, and twigs, and played a major role in shaping forest ecosystems.
00:34Sadly, moa became extinct due to human hunting and habitat loss, making them a powerful symbol of lost biodiversity and
00:44conservation lessons.
