Kiwi

Kiwi
(Apteryx mantelli)

Native to  New Zealand.

Around 40 cm (16 in) tall. Varies by gender and species.

Feeds on Invertebrates like Spiders and Worms making up (85-95%) of its diet with the rest being plant material.

Lives for 25 - 50 years.

Making up for its flightlessness, its powerful legs are used to run quickly to escape danger and, when threatened, as a powerful kick!
