A massive eagle native to some remote islands, the Haast's eagle was known for its massive size that dwarfed even the largest modern birds. With a wingspan of up to 9 feet, it was a devastating threat to any creature who dared to oppose it. The eagle famously preys upon the moa or elephant bird, a large flightless bird. |
