New Zealand is a very isolated location at about 1250 miles from its closest neighbor, Australia.

New Zealand is famous for its bird population, much of which has become flightless due to the aforementioned isolation. The world’s largest bird, the moa, though now extinct, stood at nine feet tall and was preyed upon by the world’s largest eagle, the Haast’s eagle, which is also extinct.
