Of course, what I love is that the Haast eagle was apparently, based on bone analysis, on its way to becoming flightless when it first contacted humans. One only wonders what would have happened if humans had stayed away from Aotearoa for another half-million years: those eagles were terrifying enough as is, but flightlessness would have removed one big restriction on their size. Creepy, ain't it?
