How did species like the moa and giant eagle go extinct?

There is no question that these early settlers may have attempted to kill the eagle at every opportunity. Moa, which probably made up a large portion of the eagle's food, likely became extinct as a result of Mori hunting. The population of Haast's eagles rapidly decreased and eventually went extinct.

Which was the largest eagle to become extinct?

The largest extant eagle is 30–40% lighter than the extinct Haast's eagle (Harpagornis moorei). With a wingspan of 2.5 to 3 meters and a weight of 10 to 14 kilos, it must have been a terrifying sight for the first humans to arrive in New Zealand, almost 700 years ago.
