Indigenous
The Dinornis Moa is a native animal this is because the Dinornis Moa was created in New Zealand it wasn't shipped or moved here.
Introduced
The only predators the Dinornis Moa had was the Haast's Eagle and the Maoris also ate the Dinornis's egg for food. The Dinornis's only predator was the Haast's Eagle until the Maoris hunted there eggs. The Maoris started hunting the Dinornis Moa when the Maoris first came to New Zealand as the Dinornis was living in New Zealand before the Maoris arrived.
Human Practices
The Maoris where the only humans who effected the extinction of the Dinornis Moa as they where the only humans around at that time. They effect the Dinornis Moa by eating there eggs as food, this was part of the reason that the Dinornis Moa started going extinct. Another reason the Dinornis Moa is extinct is because the Haast's Eagle preyed on it, but once the Dinornis Moa was extinct the Haast's Eagle died off as it had know more prey as the Dinornis Moa was extinct, this is also why the Haast's Eagle is now extinct.
Evaluate
If the Dinornis Moa wasn't preyed on by the Haast's Eagle it would of lived for a while longer.
