How Does The Tiny Kiwi Bird Survive When It Can't Fly? | Modern Dinosaurs | Real Wild

[@jjerg]

Surviving without flying is impressive but getting that massive egg out of that tiny cloaca is miraculous.

[@yonkoumarugo6500]

The fact that Kiwi are this round is what makes them look so cute and funny at the same time

[@stellviahohenheim]

They look more like rats than birds

[@raybarsamian5221]

The Platypus and the Kiwi bird are two of the coolest animals

[@idid1866]

My favorite two animals💚

[@trentjung8035]

This is definitely my favorite bird thank you for sharing this today!!

[@Rotting29]

Play btd6 and get 100 trophies and buy the kiwi for the ninja monkey

[@spacemcps4759]

Me too there sooooo cute! Except the moa being 3 and a half meters tall my dad I'd just 1 meter!

[@spacemcps4759]

​ also I think I lost my mind

[@katherinebrazonis7802]

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.

[@SalvableRuin]

Or someone transported the kiwi by boat.

[@katherinebrazonis7802]

@@SalvableRuin good thought 🤔

[@dem0nchild610]

I heard that the first one was how it happened but scientists are constantly changing theories

[@edwardmontoya50]

Zealandia is its own continent and the kiwis ancestors crossed when the sea levels were low is my hypothesis.

[@ellotheearthling]

We know its the first one

[@MonsterMacLLC]

You would think if the Kiwi went underground to avoid large predators they would develop other skills once those other larger eagles died out.

[@adreabrooks11]

They very well might, if they last that long! Haast's eagle has only been extinct for a few centuries - 'round about the early 1400s. There hasn't really been enough time yet for the kiwi to develop many new traits.

[@johnwillis4706]

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.

[@johnwillis4706]

@Tom Morrison I hate to hear that. Here in the states the powers that be have finally decided to do something about the envasives. But only after many Native species have been driven to extinction.

[@tamarrajames3590]

The worst introduction of non-native species is always humans, more damage to ecosystems, and more extinctions have been caused by humans than any other species.🖤🇨🇦

[@bakedandsalty9234]

It would make sense to start rounding up the non-native / invasive species in tandem with the repopulation efforts.

[@annalefsrud3132]

Very wonderful., thank you. That Australia, New Zealand Antarctica and South America were one linked makes so much sense watching this. Very revealing of yet another piece of the puzzle.

[@lynnleigha580]

I understand why they take the eggs, but it's sad they take away the kiwi's right to raise it's offspring

[@cgyoboi]

I think the birds would rather the monkey to take their child and raise it than a furry fucking demon ending it on sight

[@truthinvestors]

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.

[@katherinebrazonis7802]

You would not need wings if you didn't need to fly away.

[@hashtag_clue]

Running , jumping, digging, burrowing.

[@drabacal65]

Couldn't the conservationists collect a breeding pair of kiwi and raise them in capacity

[@annachristina6539]

If you have a whole island, free from predators, where you're taking the babies... Why don't you simply move the 400 birds over there? No matter how pure hearted our efforts are, it seems we never learn... The more we insert ourselves into nature, the more harm we do.

They pass through the digestive system, but a lot of cassowary digestion relies on fermentation - so it'll be in there awhile before it goes through.

[@ericastier1646]

People really don't understand the harm they cause to animal by taking them out of their natural habitat to a man made environment. Young animal need natural stimuli to develop their senses. hatching a kiwi bird in a laboratory is actually cruelty.

[@LikeACatOnAHotTinRoof]

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!

[@zulhafis9858]

Yeah....I am with you about it. People think there are intelegent then bring some predetor to the region. After that blame the predator so they can learn about the animal more. So ironic..🤷
