Cave paintings in New Zealand's South Island depict the majestic bird known as Te Pouākai, or Te Hōkioi.

Key points:

Haast's eagle lived on New Zealand's South Island until around 500 years ago

While it had the talons and beak of an eagle, it had the head of a vulture so it was unclear whether it was mainly a hunter or scavenger

A study reveals it killed like an eagle, but had the table manners of a vulture

According to Māori legend, the bird, thought to be Haast's eagle (Hieraaetus moorei), could swoop down and carry off adults and children.

Weighing up to 18 kilograms, or around three times as much as the wedge-tailed eagle, and with a 3-metre wingspan, it was the largest eagle that has ever lived.
