| Description |
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "This is a representation of the giant bird, now extinct, which was a native Australia. Carpenter's description of the Moa in the museum as Christchurch is as follows: 'If I were to stand under the bird its tail feathers would tickle the top of my head. Its ankle is as big around as my calf and its gray body is the size of small haystack. Its tall thin neck is stretched so high above its breast that Barnum's circus managers would have had a hard time getting the animal into a freight car. its legs are as strong as those of a camel and it looks quite as big as the biggest 'ship of the desert'. Its enormous feet have claws like those of a turkey, save that each is a foot long. I doubt not that the Moa could have stamped out the life of a man at one kick."
