The animal known as a flightless bird and native to New Zealand is the kiwi. Recognized as an iconic symbol of New Zealand, kiwis are nocturnal birds with a unique appearance, characterized by their slender bodies, long beaks, and small size, measuring around 25-45 cm in height. They are also known for their brown, fuzzy feathers, which help them blend into their forest habitats. Kiwis lay one of the largest eggs relative to their body size of any bird species. Due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species, kiwis are considered vulnerable and are subject to conservation efforts to protect their populations.
