Yes, but they have random zoomies at 2am and then fall over and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I did not know this and must seek it out
Penguins: can fly underwater
Ostriches: can run 45mph
Kiwis: orb
At least they aren’t legendarily delicious like the dodo or the giant tortoise?
Evolution is not ‘survival of the fittest’ but rather ‘survival of the good-enough’.
What a bummer. They should at least get hands if they can’t fly.
The break is pretty much it’s hands
Kiwi were perfectly adapted to their environment. If it weren’t for rats, stoats, possums, cats, dogs and humans cutting down their habitat, they’d be thriving. TLDR; humans suck
Most flightless birds compensate by being badass at fighting on ground level. If you’ve ever seen a rooster fuck up a jackdaw you’ll know what I mean.
