Moa-nalo
Extinct tribe of birds / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the unrelated extinct birds from New Zealand, see Moa.
The moa-nalo are a group of extinct aberrant, goose-like ducks that lived on the larger Hawaiian Islands, except Hawaiʻi itself, in the Pacific. They were the major herbivores on most of these islands until they became extinct after human settlement.
