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.

A more realistically coloured version of this model with a size scale can be viewed here: https://sketchfab.com/models/c48ea1c29b094599b7cefaa8d25c0ec4

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:

White: 3D scanned bones from Auckland Museum Specimen 5512

Grey: Digitally copied bones from 5512

Black: Digitally mirrored bones from 5512

Yellow: 3D scanned bones from Auckland Museum Specimen 5511

Orange: Digitally mirrored bones from 5511

Red: Digitally copied and resized bones from 5511

Green: Digitally copied bones from 5512

Purple: Digital creation
