Humans Eliminated the Only Bird That Could Hunt Them — And It Was Bigger Than a Person

Haast’s eagle was one of the largest eagles ever known—and it may have been powerful enough to attack humans. But this giant predator disappeared after the moa, its primary prey, was hunted to extinction. Using fossil evidence, Māori traditions, archaeology, genetics, and ecological research, this documentary explores how the world’s largest eagle evolved, whether it truly hunted people, and how humans unintentionally destroyed the ecosystem that supported it. #HaastsEagle #ExtinctAnimals #WildlifeDocumentary
