Walking "wig" - kiwi

author:True Dragon Prince

For a bird that is slightly smaller than a chicken, if it can't fly, wouldn't it have gone extinct long ago? You're right, the Kiwi belongs to this bird, existing on Earth as early as the time of the dinosaurs. Today, however, kiwis are still alive on island nations in the southern hemisphere and have been listed as the national bird by New Zealand. It's called "Kiwi Bird" because its call resembles this pronunciation, but it doesn't mean it really comes from multidimensional space!

So why is it said that kiwi birds are walking "wigs"? This is because the feathers of kiwi birds are completely different from those of ordinary birds, more like mammalian hair. In fact, it is simply hair-like. In addition, its wings have been severely degraded, unable to fly, and can only run. In this way, I thought it was a wig.

Although the kiwi bird can't fly, its legs and feet are still very sharp, whether it is running, or digging holes, it will make you feel that you can't underestimate this little guy. It will dig dozens or hundreds of holes in its own territory and change "rooms" every day to sleep!

Also, unlike other birds, the nostrils of the kiwi bird grow on the tip of the beak. This makes it easier for it to forage at night, because its vision is poor, but its sense of smell is excellent. In addition, although the Kiwi is not as big as a chicken, its eggs are 5 times larger than eggs!
