Kiwi - Hunting

 

"KIWIS are the only birds, which hunt by sense of smell."


Kiwi are flightless birds endemic to New Zealand, in the genus Apteryx and family Apterygidae.
At around the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites and lay the largest egg in relation to their body size. There are five recognised species, all of which are endangered.
The kiwi is a national symbol of New Zealand.
