What is an extinct animal? It is a kind of animal that no longer lives anywhere in the world. The dodo bird is a very famous example. It went extinct over 300 years ago. It became extinct because people hunted it. Today, only drawings and skeletons of the dodo bird are left. Another extinct bird is the Moa. It used to live in New Zealand, but it disappeared about 500 years ago. The Maori people of New Zealand hunted Moa for their meat, feathers, and bones. Some Moa grew very large, and the largest one was 3.7 meters tall.
