The Kiwi only occurs in New Zealand and mostly in forested areas. Of the order Struthioniformes, it includes ostriches, Cassowaries, emus and rheas. Nocturnal and rarely seen, the Kiwi lays one (sometimes 2) very large egg which practically fills her entire body cavity (the entire skeleton which displays the egg inside the bird is available SC-165). The egg is incubated by the male who assumes much of the responsibility of not only caring for the egg but also the the nest. The egg is larger, in proportion to its body, than any other egg. Incubation is a little under 3 months.

The Kiwi, and others in its order, is the only surviving members of a very old order which included the extinct Moa. Growing to about the size of a chicken, this flightless bird has a keen sense of smell (unusual for birds) and can outrun a human. Their sharp claws enable them to defend themselves rather well by kicking and slashing, much like their much larger cousins, the Ostrich.

We are grateful to the Zoological Society of San Diego for lending us this remarkable specimen for casting.
