Haast's eagle, the largest eagle ever known with a 3-meter wingspan and tiger paw-sized feet, lived in New Zealand and primarily preyed on moa, large flightless birds. It went extinct around 500-600 years ago following the moa's extinction, and its impressive size and hunting tactics made it a formidable predator of its time.

K-pop group Tomorrow X Together (TXT) continues their narrative of growth and coming of age with their new album "The Name Chapter: Freefall." The album explores the challenges of growing up and letting go, while maintaining a connection with their fans, known as MOA. TXT embraces different genres and concepts, deepening their understanding of music and evolving as artists. They express gratitude for their fans and hope to be a source of consolation and inspiration through their music.

The moa, a group of large flightless birds native to New Zealand, evolved and diversified in the absence of land predators, growing to be the tallest and second heaviest birds known to have existed. However, upon the arrival of humans, the moa quickly became easy prey and were hunted to extinction within 200 years. The recent discovery of well-preserved remains has allowed scientists to study the anatomy and behavior of the moa, and there are ongoing efforts to potentially de-extinct the species using advanced molecular biology. The story of the moa highlights the importance of nature conservation and the need to address the ongoing human-caused extinction event.

Kevin Jonas, member of the Jonas Brothers, responded to a thread created by a fan of K-Pop group TXT, who had compared him to a "best hyung" (older brother) figure. The thread showcased various photos and moments of Kevin being a supportive and caring older brother to his bandmates. Kevin expressed curiosity about the thread and the fan fulfilled their promise by creating it.
