Facts about moa's

This week we have been learning about a moa

  

These are some facts about a moa: They were large flightless birds. They lived only in New Zealand, and are now all  There were eleven species in six genera of Moa. The largest and best known were the genus Dinosaurs, which grew up to 3.6 meters 12 feet tall, and weighed as much as 230 kilograms 510 pounds. Before the arrival of human settlers, the moa's only predator was the massive Haast's eagle. New Zealand had been isolated for 80 million years and had few predators prior to human arrival, meaning that not only were its ecosystems extremely fragile but the native species were ill-equipped to cope with human predators.
