Echoes of Extinction
The huia was an astonishing bird: the male and female looked so different that they were once thought to belong to separate species. The moa, another New Zealand bird, was also remarkable, flightless and standing up to ten feet in height. And what do huias and moas have in common? They've both become extinct but in the fairly recent past, so that we still have recorded memories of how they looked and sounded. Introduced by DEREK JONES
