North Island Brown Kiwi ポスター

This image shows a North Island Brown Kiwi, a flightless bird native to New Zealand. Feathers resembling a shaggy coat of brown hair cover the kiwi's body. The kiwi's long, curved, pale gray-brown bill is unique in the bird world in having the nostrils located near the tip. They smell their prey rather than see it. Though their eyes are small, their ears are unusually large. | "Smithsonian" and the Smithsonian logo are registered trademarks owned by Smithsonian Institution.
