FACTS ABOUT THE MOA:
- Scientists believe that Moa became extinct because they were hunted and killed for food by humans.
- They think this because they’ve found moa bones and moa egg shells and old campfires together at many places like the Wairoa Bar near Blenheim.
- Scientists think that humans drove a lot Moa along the sandy Wairoa Bar where they couldn’t escape and then they killed the Moa there.
- Scientists believed the humans hunted the Moa with spears and other basic weapons.
- Work out, on the side of a building or a tree, how tall 4 meters is (you’ll need a two storied building). That’s how tall a Moa was!

Kia ora Aarmione,
This is interesting information about how scientists can look at clues and make deductions about what happened, to form theories.
4 meters is more than 2x as tall as most adults!
