Kiwi-licious! A Close Encounter with the Great Spotted Kiwi
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, Tui De Roy brings us face to beak with the elusive and enchanting Great Spotted Kiwi. Hailing from the Otorohanga Breeding Facility in New Zealand, these feathered friends are truly a sight to behold. With their unique appearance and endearing charm, it's no wonder why kiwis have become national icons of New Zealand. This particular species, Apteryx hstii, also known as the great gray kiwi or roroa, is an endemic treasure found only in this biodiversity hotspot. As nocturnal creatures, they prefer to roam under cover of darkness. But thanks to Tui De Roy's lens and expertise, we get an exclusive portrait of this flightless wonder during daylight hours. Their soft feathers and long beaks make them stand out among other birds in the avian world. However, despite their undeniable cuteness and fascinating features, these vulnerable creatures face numerous threats that put them at risk of extinction. As ratites - a group of flightless birds - they rely on conservation efforts like those at the Otorohanga Breeding Facility for their survival. So let this remarkable print serve as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures and preserve their natural habitats for generations to come. Let's celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of our wildlife while working towards a future where all species can thrive harmoniously.
