Haast’s eagle
By: Jacob Gantert 1st period November 10th
It’s A bird, it’s a plain, no it’s a giant frecen eagle! The Haast eagle was the biggest eagle to ever flap its wings on this planet. The Haast eagle’s wing span can be over 10 feet wide! And it can be over 4 feet from tip to tail! It was even so big it could even pick up a small child. The Haast eagle went extinct around the year 1400 (600 years ago) because their prey moa was hunted to extinction so the Haast eagle shortly followed. Moa went extinct about 600 years ago, because they were hunted by some of the first humans to live on New Zeeland. So, since the Haast eagle’s mane food source was gone and nothing else was big enough to sustain it so it starved to death and went extinct.
