Apteryx rowi : ウィキペディア英語版
Okarito kiwi

The Okarito kiwi (''Apteryx rowi'') also known as the rowi or Okarito brown kiwi, is a member of the kiwi family Apterygidae, described as new to science in 2003. The species is part of the brown kiwi complex, and is morphologically very similar to other members of that complex. It is found in a restricted area of the Okarito forest on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island,〔Clements, J (2007)〕 and has a population of about only 400 birds.〔New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC), (2009)〕 Some Okarito brown kiwis may live up to 100 years.〔New Zealand Department of Conservation (D.O.C), (2009(a))〕
==Taxonomy==
The Okarito kiwi is a monotypic species.〔 Their genus name ''Apteryx'' stems from the Greek "without wings".〔Gotch, A. F. (1995)〕 This bird is a ratite and has similarities to the others (emu, ostrich, rhea, cassowary). Its sternum has no keel, its wings are minimal, and it has no preen gland. Its palate is also distinctive, and its feathers have no barbules or aftershaft. Other features that are similar to only the other kiwis is a weak gizzard and no tail, only a pygostyle.〔Davies, S. J. J. F. (2003)〕
