Where did moas live in the north island the south island or both?

Moa are known to have lived in both main islands, and on some (presently) off-shore islands such as D'Urville. They would have had freer travel during the ice ages, when various land bridges existed.
I'm not sure about Stewart Island (Rakiura) though, as it may have been fully ice bound in those eras.

∙ 10y agoThe Moa lived in both main islands of New Zealand, but not (as far as I can determine) in Stewart Island. There were several forms, but the family belong to the group of birds ratite, though only moa completely lack wings. They had their habitat specializations, forest, and upland. In recent years, with the arrival of DNA techniques, uncertainty and confusion as to how many species there were are being resolved. Suffice it to say that modern belief has a smaller number of species than you'll find in older references.

Why is the north island of New Zealand more populated than the south island?
Firstly, there are more major cities on the North Island, including its capital, Wellington, and its largest city, Auckland. Secondly, the temperatures in the South Island are lower compared to the North Island as it is located nearer to the Antarctic, making it unconducive to live in. Lastly, the mountainous areas in the South Island, especially the Southern Alps, also makes it difficult for residency.
