Kiwi Bird

A flightless bird with nostrils at the tip of its beak/Small Animals

The kiwi is a flightless bird endemic to New Zealand and the national symbol of the country. Unlike almost all other birds, kiwis have nostrils at the tip of their long beak, giving them an exceptional sense of smell used to find insects and worms underground. They are roughly the size of a domestic chicken but lay eggs that are up to 20% of the mother's body weight, proportionally one of the largest eggs of any bird. Kiwis are nocturnal, monogamous, and can live for 25 to 50 years.
