  • The Kiwi is a bird that has thrown out the rulebook of bird biology. It doesn't fly, lives in the dark, and resembles a mammal more than anything bird-like. But how did a flightless bird find itself on islands in the middle of the ocean?

    One of two possibles:. 1- long ago the kiwi flew to the island then over time lost the ability to fly because they have no natural predators or 2- New Zealand and Australia were at one time connected and the little kiwi just walked around, then New Zealand moved away from Australia.

    As has been the story forever, it's the introduction of non-native species causes most of
    the trouble. Stouts, weasels, cats, dogs all wreck havoc on these birds. Were it not for man and his short sightedness, these animals would be far better off. Heroic efforts, sadly, only happen when it's nearly too late.

    Beautifu birds. Thanks for sharing. I can believe the kiwi ancestor(s) flew to the island and a descendent flightless form of the ancestral kiwi survived successfully. However, I can't buy the pitch that a volant ancestral kiwi, over millions of years of natural selection, evolved, or should i say devolved, vestigal wings.

    • @LikeACatOnAHotTinRoof
      @LikeACatOnAHotTinRoof ปีที่แล้ว

      The chick's are only hatched at the lab. They are born fully able to fend for themselves. If they did not intervene and do this, the stoats, an invasive species to NZ brought by humans to kill rabbits, also an invasive species brought by humans, would kill them and they would become extinct. If people have such an issue with conservationists doing their jobs and trying to ensure critically endangered species are able to rebound or, at the very least, not go extinct, then maybe you should redirect your anger at the moronic humans who caused this problem to start with! This is the effect of humans having to "conquer" all accessible areas of the world over the last 800 to 1,000 years, specifically ones they had no business being in, hunting for sport, etc... I'd much prefer those baby kiwis to have to interact with a human for a few days out of its life in order for their species to remain on earth to the alternative of no kiwis left alive due to the ignorance of some men a couple hundred years ago!
