Haast eagle. They were still in existance 300-350 yrs ago. there's skeletons in our local museum of moa skulls where the eagle claws have punched through the skull. This particular moa would, like the ones in the picture, have stood 12-13 feet tall.
And guess what? we,ve got intact DNA from their eggs. On the one hand I've love to see these babies fly but then I think, do I really want my 5 yr old carrying around a shotgun to protect herself from them?
