| Description |
[In Rothschild's book 'Extinct Birds' this moa has been given the scientific name Megalapteryx huttoni. This is a jr synonym of Megalapteryx didinus, the Lesser Megalapteryx or Upland Moa. It was endemic to New Zealand. It was the last moa species to become extinct, vanishing around 1500; possibly, some isolated populations managed to persist until about the early 19th century. One-Quarter Natural Size—restored drawing from feathers and mummified remains. Plate 42] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help) |
