The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the largest eagle known to have existed, with an estimated weight of 10–18 kilograms, compared to the next-largest and extant harpy eagle and Steller's sea eagle at up to 9 kg.
- Its massive size is explained as an evolutionary response to the size of its primary prey, the flightless moa, the largest of which could weigh 200 kg.
- Haast's eagle became extinct around 1445, following the arrival of the Māori, who hunted moa to extinction, introduced the Polynesian rat, and destroyed large tracts of forest by fire.
Why it is Rare
