Modeled from images of a real specimen. The North Island Takahe (Porphyrio mantelli) was a large, flightless rail endemic to New Zealand’s North Island and is now extinct. It is believed to have declined following human settlement due to hunting and the introduction of predators such as rats and dogs, as well as habitat changes. Subfossil remains suggest it persisted into relatively recent history before disappearing. Base model created with AI tools, then sculpted/edited in Blender for scientific accuracy.
