Adele speaks with special guest Kane Fleury, curator of Natural Science at Tūhura Otago Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand! Kane talks us through what steps were taken to move a fossil trackway made by the Moa, a famous flightless bird - plus extra info on avian extinctions in Aotearoa affecting the Adzebill and Haast's Eagle.

We also touch on trilobite conga lines, Locked in Time by Dr Dean Lomax, and Māori using moa bones as tools and musical instruments.
