For a long … long time, there were no mammalian predators in NZ some scientists called it "a land without teeth".
Aotearoa was pretty much paradise for the birds. Some of our birds stopped flying. The giant moa got so Nui that it became the tallest bird that EVER lived!
They didn't have a lot of natural predators to fly away from
Hi Evangeline,
ReplyDeleteWow, the Moa were HUGE, weren't they?? I can't imagine what it would have been like to live at a time when the Moa roamed the earth. I think that I would have been pretty scared of them. What about you?
Cheers,
Rachel :)
