In our literacy group, we have been learning about Moa and how we can bring them back to life.
Moa are the largest bird ever to walk the earth and it would be amazing to see them walk the earth again.
They became extinct because the Haast Eagle hunted them for food like Māori. Māori hunted them for their bones to make fish hooks and pendants.
An interesting thing that I learned was the Moa are part of the ratite group of birds and they are closely related to the ostrich and the emu.
Kia ora Braiden
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections about your learning. It is sad that the Moa is extinct, I wonder if they will bring them back again using de-extinction?
What other extinct animals would you like to see again?
