BONE ARTICULATION 16.TIF

Old articulations are often scientifically inaccurate by modern standards. All but one of the moa in the Otago Museum’s gallery, for example, have been mounted in a tall, upright position that represents a 20th-century understanding of the birds’ anatomy. Modern thinking, however, is that moa held their necks at a lower angle, more like a goose than an ostrich.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 164 July - August 2020.
