Speech of extinct animals presentation

I will talk about extinct animals in New Zealand and Japan.


Moa are very big birds. They are 3.6m (12ft) in height and 250kg in weight. Their figure is like ostrich and emu. They do not have wings, so they cannot fly. Instead, they can run very fast.
Maori had hunted Moa. Moa had gradually lost their number. Moa had gone extinct by 1500s.


Many wild Ibis had lived in Japan. Now, there are still 112 Ibis in Japan. However, all of them are not Japanese ones. They are Chinese. Japan imported some ibis from China and succeeded in breeding. Last Japanese ibis named Kin died in 2003.
