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

They look more like rats than birds

My favorite two animals💚

Or someone transported the kiwi by boat.

@@SalvableRuin good thought 🤔

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

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

We know its the first one

i like people complaining about other people complain

@@stellviahohenheim 😂

I guess they'd rather have the chicks get eaten by stouts the moment they hatched lol

@@stellviahohenheim wow you’re so smart making that comment. What an epic comeback!

Aaah a talking kiwi egg 🥚!

Owh! He's just a commenter,phew.

Same thing happened to my buddy Greg

@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.

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.🖤🇨🇦

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

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

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

​ also I think I lost my mind

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.

Spot the obvious

@@Mr.pangolin901 Yeah, I'm good at it.

Such as..... wait are moa's 6 meter?

Lol

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

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

Yay me too

Yep...they don't belong there! They could round them up and return them to where they were taken!

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.

They're illegal to own which broke my heart to learn

@me-sb9ey Maybe someday in the future when theyre not endangered

How big did you think they were?

@@einienj3281 I actually thought the surprise came from them being as big as a small dog. I thought they'd be smaller lol 😂

@@aa_001 My niece thought they were as small as a kiwi fruit and my husband thought they were as big as emu's.. 😄

A chicken exactly

@888 17 😄

Yeah

But haast's Eagle has a wingspan of 3 metres and moa could reach ¾ meters so...... what's the deference? I mean its not a big deal for the moa and haasts Eagle,right?

it will be live a short life and wont be able to breed and die off

You can’t cross mammalian and avian dna.

A kat.

​@@michelhickey5765 I know! A biwi! It's part bat part kiwi,right?

Lol.bat/kiwi,🤣

Of course! I mean...... ....... why not,I'd hire my 14 pets/2 ducks 1 canary bird and 11 duck eggs

? ?

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!

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..🤷
