Imagine laying this egg

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Interesting, but not sure the beeb got this bit right - "...Mr Shepherd, a 
trained palaeontologist, said: "The egg has a great social history. The 
Madagascan Elephant Bird was the only giant bird to exist with man and man 
caused its extinction....The herbivores, which were hunted by the natives of 
Madagascar, became extinct in the mid-1600s."
I thought that the Maori caused the extinction of Moas in New Zealand?
