Skull in a salt lake.

A reconstruction of a female coastal moa (Euryapteryx curtus), also called the broad-billed or stout-legged moa, built for the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in 2006. [x]

Adult females of this species could be over twice the size of adult males. Individuals from the southern part of the country were larger and more robust than those from the north.

This moa species also had an elongated windpipe similar to some modern-day swans and cranes, suggesting it could make loud, resonating calls: "The windpipe included a loop up to one metre long that ran downwards inside the left side of the body, and across to the other side before it doubled back on itself to the breast and into the lungs." [x]

Simulated call of a coastal moa:

you can't waste your life btw it's just not something that's possible to do. your mere existence is already a precious and valuable use of your time. the time you spent becoming who you are now was inherently worthwhile
