Moa returning from extinction by Colossal Biosciences, entrepreneur Ben Lamm, Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson

Filmmaker Peter Jackson owns one of the largest private collections of bones of an extinct New Zealand bird called the moa. His fascination with the flightless ostrich-like bird has led to an unusual partnership with a biotech company known for its grand and controversial plans to bring back lost species.

The Lord of The Rings' Peter Jackson has teamed up with Colossal Biosciences to bring back an extinct animal, The South Island Giant Moa.
