Season 1 Episode 3 of 3
New Zealand is now home to some of the richest agricultural land in the world, boasting magnificent gardens with plants from around the planet and rare magical creatures. A caving expedition reveals relics of the original lost world of its pre-human past; the actual bones of a cow-sized flightless grazing bird, a moa, among the largest birds that has ever lived. However, as narrator Sam Neill reveals, against all the odds, one giant bird from primeval New Zealand has survived to this day
