Book Description
The life and death of New Zealand's unique bird. Everyone knows about the moa: large, flightless and, alas, extinct. But what sort of creature was the moa and how did it live? Why did the moa die out - and when? Did any Europeans ever see one? Puzzled by these intriguing questions, Barney Brewster (author of Antarctica: Wilderness at Risk) delved deep into the mystery of the moa. The result of two years' research, Te Moa presents some surprising findings in an easy, readable style.
