Little Spotted Kiwi Rediscovered After 50 Years on New Zealand’s Mainland
This is one of the most miraculous conservation moments since the takahē was found alive in Fiordland in 1948. Conservationists are delighted after a unique kiwi was rediscovered in Aotearoa for the first time in 50 years. The little spotted kiwi, or kiwi pukupuku, was first spotted in the remote Adams Wilderness Area in the West Coast by a Department of Conservation (DOC) hunter. It prompted DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham, alongside his conservation dog Brew, to fly in to locate the bird. "I heard kiwi calling the first night - two of them duetting - and immediately knew they didn't sound like other kiwi. It was exciting, but it took a few days to narrow down the area," Graham said.  ·  ·  · |

That bird doesn't look a day over 49.
