We’re launching the Colossal Species Reintroduction Fund: $250K annually to help return missing and at-risk species to the wild. Rewilding restores ecosystems and helps prevent extinctions. This is one more step toward making extinction a thing of the past.

The moa went extinct around 1400 CE. What was happening in the world when they disappeared? Pandemics, power plays, new empires, rising cities, and shifting cultures. The last moa stepped out of history just as the modern world was kicking off.

She’s fun. She’s fierce. She’s female. And now she’s in the pool. 💦🐺 In Pupdate 003, Khaleesi plays in the pool, chomps her favorite snacks, chews sticks like a predator, and tumbles through pure puppy bliss as she grows into the queen of the pack. 📺

👑 The queen of the pack just met the pool… and she did not hold back. One cautious paw turned into two, then a full-body leap as curiosity turned into pure, splash-filled joy.

A footprint that should not exist. And yet, it does. While walking his dog, Chris Sargent found moa tracks and bones near Pareora, New Zealand. Dr. Paul Scofield confirmed it as Canterbury’s first. Prints and bones together. A rare moment pulled from time.

The deadliest virus in young Asian elephants has met its match. Sanjay and Kabir were vaccinated in 2024 and just tested negative for EEHV after exposure. A breakthrough mRNA vaccine is working. Colossal is proud to have supported this historic effort.

Big birds, big eggs, big boy responsibility. Swipe to see the largest moa egg ever recovered, belonging to the legendary South Island giant moa. This stands out as a rare and remarkable treasure, rich in both scientific value and cultural history.

🦖 Where the word dinosaur come from? Before 1841, dinosaurs had no name. Then Sir Richard Owen studied puzzling specimens and noticed something no one else had. He proposed a new name: Dinosauria, meaning “terrifying lizards,” a word that would go on to capture the world.

You might think the giant, flightless moa was most closely related to emus. But DNA shows its closest living relatives are tinamous, small birds from South America that can still fly. We are now exploring both emus and tinamous as possible surrogates to help bring the moa back.

The world’s tallest bird is one step closer to a comeback. The Ngāi Tahu Research Centre, Peter Jackson, and Colossal are teaming up to bring the South Island giant moa back to New Zealand. 🇳🇿 Read all about it on @Forbes.
