Possibly the Kakapo, a ground-dwelling nocturnal parrot.OR perhaps the Tuatara, Sphenodon spp., dating from about 70 M years ago, a true descendant of the early Dinosaurs. They live to perhaps 150 years, and can be very slow moving. [A friend of mine visited an exhibit of Tuatara in UK, which he studied for 15 min or so. He marvelled at the remarkably realistic reproduction and life-like pose; - - but then the Tuatara blinked!]OR perhaps the Kiwi, a flightless nocturnal bird that lives in deep burrows under the tree roots. Its nostrils are at the ed of its long beak!All are endangered.
No.Of the five recignised species of kiwi, only two are endangered.The Okarito Kiwi, or Rowi (Apteryx rowi) is critically endangered.The brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) is endangered.The little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii), great spotted kiwi (Apteryx haastii) and tokoeka(Apteryx australis) are classified as vulnerable.
