Roundup Ready posted:I was actually going to mention this! Apparently after the moas went extinct the haasts eagle started going after the other thing roughly that size. There's evidence of human skulls with deep claw like scratches in them. I don't think they've ever found anything like that, just some stories about some kids maybe getting taken by them.

100% it's this. There's actually a few modern species of Eagles with similair wingspans, but Pouakai (maori name) was hella yoked and had comparatively short wings for an eagle, probably an adaptation to make hunting in forest and scrub easier. I remember reading something somewhere that had calculated that getting hit by one would be like the equivalent force of getting a cinder-block dropped on your head from a 2-storey building or something  e] they were fat as hell, like 30% heavier than any modern eagle
