species distinction

After a full day of travel, I made it to Wellington. Haven't been able to see too much of it yet, but plan to do my own walking tour today. The national museum here, Ta Papa, is supposed to be pretty amazing, and I plan on taking a trip on a cable car up to their observatory. Hoping to get some pictures up here soon....

My search for knowledge continues, as always. For instance, I've learned that there was an ostrich-like bird that was indigineous to New Zealand called the Moa, which was exploited and driven to extinction. Despite the similarities, this bird is not to be confused with Moe, zany Stooge ringleader. Kiwis are very adamant about this and find no humor in imitations of either, or imitations of one riding the other--jubilant cries of "Heehaw! Moe on a Moa!" notwithstanding.
