Officially Extinct in 1500s. Dinornis robustus, also known as the South Island giant moa, was a species of flightless bird that was endemic to New Zealand. It was one of the largest species of moa, standing up to 3.6 meters tall. The South Island giant moa was a herbivore and likely fed on leaves and twigs of trees and shrubs. It became extinct around the 15th century, likely due to hunting by the Maori people and habitat loss due to deforestation. Model includes a Pre-supported version. The model is sized for 1:24 of the actual size. You can reduce or enlarge the model using the slicing software if you need a different size. Pre-supported model is oriented to minimize supports to the face and other high-detail parts. Care should be taken when removing the supports to avoid damaging the model.
