In Real Life

Dinornis novaezealandiae (North Island giant moa)

This particular moa lived on the North Island of New Zealand, and lived in the lowlands (shrublands, grasslands, dunelands, and forests). Slightly smaller than the South Island giant moa, the North Island species was the second tallest of the nine moa species, standing up to 2 metres at the back and up to 3 metres with neck stretched upwards. Both giant moa species (genus Dinornis) had relatively long, shaggy hair-like feathers up to 18 cm long, covering the body, and exhibited the greatest size difference between males and females of any bird, with adult females being much larger than adult males.

Based on their skull and bill morphology and the frequent presence of large masses of gizzard stones, it is likely that North Island moa consumed a fibrous diet of twigs and leaves. Flowers, berries and seeds from trees, shrubs and vines were also taken, but they consumed few herbs or grasses.

The main cause of extinction was overhunting by humans for food. Moa chicks may have also been eaten by the introduced Polynesian Dog.

The relatively long leg bones of giant moa indicate that they were more agile than other large moa species, and a large olfactory lobe suggests that they had an acute sense of smell.

The remains of a large white moa egg (190 x 150 mm) thought to be from this species was found in a rock shelter near Waitomo Caves. It is estimated that this egg would have weighed over 3 kg when fresh.
