The smallest of the bunch—the bush moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis)—was about the size of a turkey, while the South Island giant moa (Dinornis robustus) and North Island giant moa (Dinornis novaezealandiae) both stood roughly 11 feet tall.

Even with the more DNA edits, the resulting “Colossal moa” won’t be a de-extinct moa, but a genetically modified animal that’s a close facsimile to the original.
