Extinct animals: fear birds extinct animals: fear birds species classification: Chordata->; Vertebrate subfamily->; -& gt； Bird-> Today's bird subclass->; -& gt； Current clamping sequence-> -& gt； Distribution: Description of animals distributed in New Zealand: The fear bird used to be the largest among many birds in New Zealand, with an average body length of 3 meters, which is higher than that of ostriches today. Except for the yellow feathers on the abdomen, the moa is all yellow and black. Although its upper limbs degenerate like an ostrich, its body is fat and its lower limbs are short, so its running ability is far less than that of an ostrich. The biggest difference between a moa and an ostrich is that its neck is covered with feathers. An ostrich's neck is naked. It is longer than a fear bird's neck. It has three toes, and an ostrich has two toes. The moa is monogamous all his life. They can live together for life, or they can die in one of them, and the survivors will find another spouse. As husband and wife, they live in the primitive lowlands and coastal forests and grasslands of the southern islands of New Zealand all the year round, feeding on berries, grass seeds and roots. Sometimes, they also eat some insects. Because the moa is huge and needs a lot of food, each pair of moa has its own large territory. Due to the sparsely populated area where the fear birds live, the food is abundant, and there are no natural enemies, only a few indigenous people hunt the fear birds for food, but the original hunting methods of the indigenous people have not dealt a fatal blow to the fear birds. So until the beginning of the18th century, there were still many moyamoyas living comfortably here. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/8th century, European immigrants came to the island, which also brought bad luck to the moa. I'm afraid poultry meat is a delicacy for European immigrants. Because fear birds don't know how to hide, Europeans can easily catch them, often killing more than a dozen at a time. At the same time, due to the arrival of European immigrants and the increasing number of local aborigines, a large area of land was burned and reclaimed, and the habitat of this bird was completely destroyed. The bird starved to death because it lost its foothold. At the same time, because this bird destroyed crops, they killed a large number of fear birds in order to protect crops. Domestic dogs and mice that came to the island with Europeans have also become natural enemies of the fear of birds. They also gave a fatal blow to the fear birds. By the end of the18th century, the number of fear birds was very small, and it became more and more difficult for people to catch them. And 1800 is the last year when people can catch the fear bird.
