Skeleton of the Dinosaur

Skeleton of the Dinosaur

This is a skeleton model of Moa. The moa is an extinct group of giant, non-flying, flat-breasted birds that were once widely distributed in New Zealand. Dinosaurs are the tallest known birds, with species of the genus Dinosaur (Dinornis) standing up to more than 3 metres tall and weighing about 250 kilograms. They are characterized by a small head, a long, powerful neck and thick legs. Unlike most birds, the moa has no trace of its wings at all. Before the arrival of humans, there were no medium to large mammals in New Zealand, and the moa was the main herbivore in the local forest ecosystem.
