Over a century ago, moose were introduced to New Zealand's Fiordland as part of an ambitious plan to create a hunting paradise. Initially, some moose sightings were reported, but by 1951, they were officially declared extinct. Despite this, mysterious clues like oversized footprints and unconfirmed sightings have kept the legend alive. Recent reports of possible moose encounters have reignited interest in whether these animals have survived in the remote wilderness, with a growing public curiosity about the cryptic creatures' potential existence.
The moose had arrived on a flight of fancy, as part of the then premier's grand vision to turn Fiordland national park into a hunters' paradise.
Yet in the decades since, there have been clues that the animals remain in New Zealand. People have found footprints too large to be deer and fur snagged in trees.
