A reconstruction of a female coastal moa (Euryapteryx curtus), also called the broad-billed or stout-legged moa, built for the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in 2006. [x]

Adult females of this species could be over twice the size of adult males. Individuals from the southern part of the country were larger and more robust than those from the north.

This moa species also had an elongated windpipe similar to some modern-day swans and cranes, suggesting it could make loud, resonating calls: "The windpipe included a loop up to one metre long that ran downwards inside the left side of the body, and across to the other side before it doubled back on itself to the breast and into the lungs." [x]

Simulated call of a coastal moa:

Founded in 1773, South Carolina’s Charleston Museum proudly holds the title of oldest museum in America. During the course of that long history, the museum had the opportunity to acquire a number of specimens of now-extinct birds. Displays are changed out on a rotating basis, but at the moment there are three Carolina Parakeets, two Passenger Pigeons, two Ivory Billed woodpeckers, a Bachman’s Warbler (with nest), and a South Island giant Mia skeleton on public view (plus a couple of other parakeet appearances around the museum). Well worth a visit if you happen to find yourself in South Carolina.

Remember to read about the contestants before voting!

Wallcreeper

As it’s name suggests, the wallcreeper creeps along rock faces. It’s the only member of its family, the Tichodromidae, as well as the only one of its genus. They are quite tame, although they get nervous if they’re being watched. When not in breeding season, they often aggressively defend their feeding territories. They eat most of their insect diet from the faces of rocks, and will sometimes take flight to chase after a delicious insect morsel for a short distance. Theyre hard to spot, but when you do spot them, they are quite reminiscent of a butterfly arent they? Learn More!

Moa

The giant moa bird, a bird said to have lived on the island of New Zealand. They were the main food source for the Haast’s Eagle, a huge bird of prey. But, they are also a cryptid as well… even though they were extinct long before Europeans arrived, there have been many tales and “sightings” of this mysterious and large bird. It’s probable that the Moa bird went extinct within 100 years of contact with humans, and so too did the Haast’s Eagle go extinct when it’s main source of food died out. Learn More!

Some of my works appear on @252mya, this series is a recent contribution. On 4 posters I explored the diversity of several groups during the Pleistocene into the Holocene. Birds, Tortoises, Crocodiles and Elephants were the subjects of these initial posters, more might be added in the future.

It is Incredible to see how much megafauna we JUST missed.

Giant birds! The tallest of them is a giant moa, but I don't remember the identity of the others.
