The skeletal remains of the moa are truly remarkable and tell a powerful story of its unique evolution. What makes its skeleton stand out? It's the sheer robustness and density of its bones, built to support an enormous body weight without the need for flight.

In the skull, it creates what are known as “moth-eaten” lesions; small, round areas where the bone has been eroded away.
