A 500 pound chicken—no surprise it didn’t last long once the Maori arrived.

Yup, I’ll bet they tasted real good to the Maori’s, so much that, no matter how many they ate, they still wanted some Moa.

...were the dominant animals in New Zealand’s pre-human environment...Let's hope being finger lickin' good was the only reason for killing them off...

I remember having some creature like that as a plastic toy when I was a kid. Also the Wooly Mammoth and Giant Sloth Bear. These and the dinosaur toys were made a lot better then.

A 500 pound chicken—no surprise it didn’t last long once the Maori arrived. When they ran out, they took canoes looking for more.
When they reached a large group of islands, they were misunderstood, resulting in a war between them and the native islanders.
The islands were named in commemoration of the incident, because they kept saying, "you got sam moa? We want sam moa!"
