Best Answer

The Tuatara, two species of lizard like reptile, are the last survivors living sphenodonts. However, the tuatara is by no means the most ancient animal as many varieties of animal such as horseshoe crabs, dragonflies, and sharks predate even reptiles.

Haast's eagle became extinct around 1400, after the moa were hunted to extinction by the first Māori.

So maybe Moa have been extinct the longest .
