Welcome back to Bizarre Beasts: Season Zero, where we are remastering episodes of Bizarre Beasts that were originally created for Vlogbrothers. This episode is all an extinct flightless bird from the New Zealand island of Takapourewa. The rumor is that one cat wiped out Lyall's Wren, but Tibbles probably had some help.

This month's pin is designed by Lukas Phelan. Learn more about him and his work here https://lukasphelan.com/
