Extinct: Broad-Milled Moa, 15th-Century New Zealand

Euryapteryx curtus was one of the most widespread moa species, inhabiting mostly open areas. These moa lived on both the North and the South Islands of New Zealand, and remains have also been recovered from nearby Stewart Island. It inhabited lowland environments like duneland, forest, shrubland, and grassland. The species presumably went extinct for the same reasons as proposed for other moa: overhunting by the Māori (who called them "moa hakahaka") after their arrival on the islands in the 14th century.
