New Zealand is believed by some cryptozoologists to be home to all manner of undiscovered and extinct creatures, from a new species of otter to the moa to the kokako. Discovering any of these alive could reshape what we know of the country's natural history.
Big cats, "extinct" songbirds, moa, native otters there's a zoo-ful of shy and mysterious creatures roaming the countryside if New Zealand's cryptozoologists are to be believed. Are they just chasing dreams or is the truth out there?"

There's not much in this article. Who cares if there is still a moose in the south island? Man released moose there a hundred years ago. Moa haven't been seen (reliably) in 200 years and they were 4m (13foot) tall!
