Page "Poukai" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
In some Māori legends Pouakai kill humans, which could have been possible if the name relates to the Haast's Eagle given the massive size and strength of the bird ( which is believed to have hunted Moa weighing up to ).
Such a creature could very well have killed and eaten humans, Haast's Eagles did not become extinct until several hundred years after the arrival of the Māori.
