These footprints were left behind by a moa, a giant extinct bird native to New Zealand, and are the first to be discovered on the country’s South Island. A local resident noticed the markings underwater while going for a dip in the Ryeburn River. He alerted staff at the Otago Museum, who temporarily diverted the river and excavated the fossilized imprints, which could be several million years old. https://i.imgur.com/cKm3A...
