Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Such a diverse group. :)

[LostCosmonauts]

Moa vs. Haast's Eagle would've been the King Kong vs. Godzilla of early Aotearoa. Would've loved to see it

[kayp_]

[Caroline]

Moa are so funny looking ! Who knew they liked fish and chips we have that in common. Great video !

[Astrapionte]

Yes!! Such a good video! I’d love to see you do this for Kiwis, Elephant Birds, and other animals!

[TeganGoodProductions]

This was so good! Hahaha loved the tier scale! I think they all deserve wizard level

[Ecotasia]

This is a great video, especially because there were so many species. Glad to see you back, how are you?
I love that description of humans, "a balance between might and incompetence." (Can we get that on a shirt or an inspirational poster)

Finally could be a true endemic species that evolved here for more than 7, 000 years. Not the same about other species from lizards to punga trees that were introduced around that time.

[cinthialara]

Great video i hope that in some future, whether near or distant they will be cloned so we can see them because these extinct animals deserve a second chance to exist, although due to their loss of habitat and because of hunting by humans we take them and kill them and hunt them for several reasons survive and not die on the contrary to be able to exist ourselves

[jonneexplorer]

Please Sum, may I have some Moa?

Also wel done on combining two of mit greatest loves. Tolkien and evolutionary biology :)

[returnofthesnatch]

[dennyperkovitch]

the little bush moa is by far the most powerful... no one ever proved they don't shoot lasers... ps do you use inaturalist

[ianpickering]

Moa, Moa, Moa! How do you like it? How do you like it? Moa, Moa, Moa!

[BioBush]

Thanks to you I have moa knowledge. I did not know there were so many moas! It's unfortunate that the one moa that avoided being hunted to extinction still went extinct. There must have been more than one factor at play.
PS - Sick burn on humans, "A balance of might and incompetence". It hurts because it's true.

[gandalfandferg]

little bush moa were twice the weight of turkeys at the least
