The Moa's were a large Emu/ostrich type of bird. However there were several species of Moa, some the size of a chicken and some that could stretch as tall as a 2 story building.

What is left of the giant moa?

The moa was a huge bird that is now extinct. They are cousins to the ostrich, but they were much bigger, standing almost 12 feet tall. There are some remains of moas that have been found by scientists. There are skeletons in museums, and there are even some complete eggshells that have been found. A moa's egg is almost 9 1/2 inches long! Some moa feathers have also been found that show that the bird might have had a speckled appearance. Moas lived in New Zealand a long time ago. Humans (native Maori tribes) were most responsible for the extinction of all moas on the island.
