The little bush moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis) is an extinct bird from New Zealand. This little bush moa skeleton has been constructed by digitising bones from the ornithological collections of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland, New Zealand.

This digital skeleton has been created by combining 3D scanned bones from two separate moa skeletons, and by copying and mirroring some bones.

Bones are colour coded to show their source:
