[00:00.00] | The cats were removed from Stephens Island, |
[00:03.22] | but it was too late for the wren. |
[00:05.13] | Now only known from a few cat-chewed museum specimens, |
[00:08.75] | evolving to be flightless had proven fatal. |
[00:12.26] | So it seems there is a trade-off. |
[00:14.29] | The freedom of island life allows a species to relax its guard, |
[00:18.61] | but that can leave it defenceless. |
[00:21.56] | on the main islands of New Zealand, |
[00:23.85] | similar dramas have played out time and time again. |
[00:27.56] | Forests dominated by giant kauri trees once covered the North Island. |
[00:32.97] | The fragments that remain look much like they have for millennia, |
[00:36.49] | but looks can be deceiving. |
[00:38.52] | A few centuries ago, |
[00:39.82] | this forest echoed with the calls of strange and wonderful birds. |
[00:44.76] | Most famous was the giant moa, |
[00:47.33] | which looked a bit like an ostrich, |
[00:49.24] | but taller than an elephant. |
[00:51.04] | And there are many more birds |
[00:52.83] | whose haunting songs now exist here only in memory. |
