No extinction is as well documented as that of the New Zealand Moa (pronounced mo-ah). It was a large flightless bird of the order Dinornithiformes. Weighing up to 250Kg and 2.5 metres high, it was hunted to extinction by the Maoris by about 400 years ago. The Moa occupied the ecological niche in New Zealand of the antelope, rhinoceros and kangaroo and lived in habitats from forest to alpine tundra.
