Lua Pele Hānau ‘ia
Length: 3.6m
Wingspan: 8.5m
Weight: 71.8kg
Diet: giant moa, buffalo, livestock, macaques, bear raccoons, raccoon dogs, marsupials, large fish, snakes
Elephant condors use their large claws and immense size to take down any prey they please, usually giant moa and water buffalo. The elephant condors closest relative is argentavis, which flew from Argentina to the Mea Hua Archipelago, presumably for migration purposes. Mea Huan legend states that the first of the condors were born from a volcano, hence the name, Lua Pele Hānau ‘ia, volcano born. Elephant condors tend to nest in mountains and jungles.
