<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anomalopteryx-didiformis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Anomalopteryx didiformis (Bush Moa) was the smallest moa species from New Zealand, standing about 60cm at the back and weighing roughly 40kg. A flightless herbivore inhabiting dense forest, it browsed on leaves, berries, and twigs. Extinct since approximately the 14th–15th century CE following Māori settlement and hunting, its bones are common in New Zealand cave deposits.
