Misc texture 1

It has Tiny Wings but cannot fly

It has loose feathers that are more like fur and unlike other birds the feathers moult throughout the year.

It is the only bird in the world with nostrils at the end of its beak.

It has no tail feathers, but does have whiskers, like a cat.

It has marrow in its bones, just like a human.

The biggest&nbsp;threat&nbsp;to&nbsp;kiwi:

&nbsp;is stoats, and to adult&nbsp;kiwi&nbsp;it's dogs. Cats also kill&nbsp;kiwi&nbsp;chicks, and ferrets frequently kill adult&nbsp;kiwi. Introduced mammals can also have a wider impact on&nbsp;kiwi.
