The endangered Kiwi is considered an honorary mammal that lays the biggest eggs compared to their body size. Kiwis are a flightless bird that is about the size of a domestic chicken. With whiskers, coarse shaggy fur-like feathers and nostrils at the end of their long thin beaks. They are usually shy and noctournal.
Unfortunately, the Kiwi is under threat, primarily from introduced predators that were brought to New Zealand. Before humans arrived they had no natural predators but now their numbers are getting decimated by the likes of rats, cats and dogs.
Good news is that Kiwi numbers are slowly recovering with the help of organizations like Kiwi Birdlife Park in Queenstown, NZ and Kiwi House in Otorohanga, NZ.
