The elephant bird, native to Madagascar, was hunted primarily for its large size, which provided a significant source of meat for early human settlers. Its eggs, the largest of any known bird, were also sought after for food and possibly for their decorative value. Additionally, habitat destruction and hunting pressures contributed to their extinction, as they were unable to adapt to the rapid changes brought by human activities.
