Current Goal

To get my photo taken in Mauritius, the home of another extinct cousin. But I am more than happy to take the long way there...

In 1505, Portuguese explorers discovered the island of Mauritius and the 20kg flightless Dodos which supplemented their food stores.  Imported pigs, monkeys and rats fed on the Dodo Bird's eggs in their ground nests. The last Dodo was killed in 1681.
 
The moa were eleven species of flightless birds native to New Zealand. The two largest species reached about 3.6m in height and weighed about 230 kg. They were the dominant herbivores in New Zealand's forest and subalpine regions, and until the arrival of the Maori were hunted only by the Haast Eagle, another extinct giant. It is generally considered that most species of moa died out due to over-hunting by Maori around 1820.
