In the study, published Friday in the journal Scientific Reports, paleontologists identify two different ancient birds, Gastornis and Presbyornis. Of the two birds, Gastornis is (literally) the bigger discovery.

Only 500 years ago a giant flightless bird species called the Moa lived on New Zealand.

There have been claims over the years since its extinction that there are still Moa's living there but nothing has really ever went beyond supposed sightings by people.
