Activity 4 - The New Zealand Moa
Google search for an image of the Moa bird and write five important facts about the Moa Bird.
- Moa belonged to the family of Ratites or flightless birds, which have no wings, not even small stubs of wings like the kiwi.
- Some moa bones have been dated and found to be 2 millions years old.
- The moa’s normal posture gave its height at 1.8 metres and would have weighed about the same as a cow.

- The Giant Moa was New Zealand’s most largest land animal.
