Holy heck how'd we miss this one. This giant New Zealand bird was the biggest eagle to have ever lived! And its extinction is linked to the Giant Moa, which if you haven't heard is being resurrected by Colossal Biosciences with the help of Peter Jackson. Yes the Lord of the Rings one. Woah we have a lot to catch up on! Also a big apology to our regular extincty fans for taking so long to get a new episode up. WE'LL TRY HARDER NEXT TIME

Check out this great video by “FRANK” that help informed this episode:
