MOA NO MORE
Maori hunted the Moa into oblivion.
There were at keast several types of Moa some giant size towering well above humans - more than twice the he8ight, other Moa were not much bigger than Kiwi.
What I cannot understand why there seems no record of Maori keeping a Moa or two as pets.
Moa were quite harmless flightless birds..
I see other races in other parts of the world had .made pets from otherwise otherwise lethal animals from crocodiles to elephants from snakes to lions from eagles to emus.
Perhaps we would have moa still with us today if Maori who had dogs as pets, had looked to tame some moa.
FOUND: MAZDA CAR KEYS
Keys found on the road down in Silverstream around Pinehaven Road roundabout.
Tried to pass to Police Station but they are closed so attempting to reach someone on here just in case we get lucky!
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
