Living in New Zealand: The Moa

One of the great things about tramping in New Zealand is that you don't have to worry about animals that might kill you (there are plenty of other things that could kill you when hiking in New Zealand, but none of them are animals). The moa became extinct when humans arrived in New Zealand in the middle of the last millennium. It might not have killed anyone, but it would have frightened the bejeezus out of me to come across it on a walk.
