EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1924, showcases the enigmatic Notornis, a rare and flightless bird native to New Zealand. The Notornis, also known as the New Zealand Diver, was first discovered in fossil form before it was ever observed alive, leading scientists to believe it was extinct. The Notornis was a large, robust bird, with a distinctive hooked beak and webbed feet, adapted for swimming and diving in the shallow waters of New Zealand's lakes and rivers. Its fossilized remains, discovered in the late 19th century, provided valuable insights into the avian life of New Zealand's ancient past. Despite the excitement generated by the discovery of the Notornis fossils, no living specimens were ever found. It wasn't until the late 20th century that the existence of the Notornis was confirmed through DNA analysis of extant New Zealand birds, revealing that the Notornis was actually the ancestor of the New Zealand dotterel and the South Island oystercatcher. This photograph print, taken in the early 20th century, serves as a poignant reminder of the Notornis' elusive and enigmatic nature. Its extinction, like that of many other New Zealand birds, highlights the fragility of the natural world and the importance of preserving and protecting endangered species.
