Asset Overview

The little bush moa (*Anomalopteryx didiformis*) is an extinct bird from New Zealand. Several species of moa used to live in New Zealand, and all of these species were flightless. The little bush moa was the smallest moa species. This skeleton has been constructed by digitising bones from the ornithological collections of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland, New Zealand. Bones from two separate moa skeletons (Specimen 5511 and 5512) have been included. A colour key for the skeleton can be viewed here: https://sketchfab.com/models/49f1314d128e471585eaf15541c44681# **Download now!** **Caveat:** Some bones may have been articulated incorrectly.
