A Canterbury Museum reconstruction of a medium sized moa, Euryapteryx gravis, from bones found in Pyramid Valley north of Christchurch. The prevailing scientific theories last century held that Polynesians were not largely responsible for the moa’s demise, but that it was either a declining species, it had been affected by glaciation, or even that the giant bird had suffered mass tutu poisoning.
