Moa-nalo

The moa-nalo are a group of extinct aberrant, goose-like ducks that lived on the larger Hawaiian Islands, except Hawaii itself, in the Pacific. They were the major herbivores on most of these islands for the last 3 million years or so, until they became extinct after human settlement.
==Description==
The moa-nalo (the name literally means "lost fowl"; an "s" is not added for the plural) were unknown to science, having been wiped out before the arrival of Captain James Cook (1778), until the early 1980s, when their subfossil remains were discovered in sand dunes on the islands of Molokai and Kauai. Subsequently bones were found on Maui, Oahu, and Lānai, in lava tubes, lake beds and sinkholes. They represent four species in three genera so far:
* ''Chelychelynechen quassus'' (turtle-jawed moa-nalo) from Kauai
* ''Ptaiochen pau'' (small-billed moa-nalo) from Maui
* ''Thambetochen xanion'' (O'ahu moa-nalo) from Oahu
* ''Thambetochen chauliodous'' (Maui Nui large-billed moa-nalo) from Maui, Lānai and Molokai (Maui Nui)
''Chelychelynechen'', meaning turtle-jawed goose, had a large heavy bill like that of a tortoise, while the other two genera, ''Thambetochen'' and ''Ptaiochen'' all had serrations in their bills known as pseudoteeth, similar to those of mergansers. All species were flightless and large, with a mass of .
