In the
Guild Wars online role-playing game, one of the tamable animals available to players is a moa. Real life moas were large flightless birds that once lived in New Zealand, but were hunted to extinction after Polynesian groups migrated to their habitat in the thirteenth century. Some moa species grew close to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall! In 2011,
Guild Wars released a collection of holiday papercraft. One of the models in the collection was a moa as it appears in the game. Still available as of today, the PDF template for the bird may be downloaded
here. Build photo by Dino Toy Museum.
Other Paper Models of Extinct Animals:
Trilobite
Woolly Mammoth
Velociraptor
Saber-toothed Tiger
