From Moa to Dinosaurs looks back in time to reveal a glimpse of the animals that lived in New Zealand in the ancient past right up until just before the arrival of people. Going back as far as 180 million years, this book covers an extraordinary range of animals that are now extinct from the moa, the shark-toothed dolphin and giant penguins, through to turtles, crocodilian species and dinosaurs including sauropods and therapods. It also examines the resilient survivors from the past as the kiwi, the giant weta, native bats and the tuatara. This book is a wonderful and intriguing introduction to the fauna of the past and the ancient origins of New Zealand.
