Append-only living-dossier updates for “The Live Moa Reports: a Waiau Shepherd (1873) and the Browning Pass 'Capture' (1874)”.https://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/en-ushttps://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/cases/live-moa-reports-1873-1874/https://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/cases/live-moa-reports-1873-1874/In 1873 a Dunedin paper announced that a live moa had been seen “alive and in the flesh” in Southland.
