00:00The unusual kiwi of New Zealand is a bird like no other.
00:13The kiwi is the size of a large chicken but is shaped like a huge pear.
00:19Its shaggy feathers look more like hair.
00:22There are cat-like whiskers around its face.
00:25The kiwi's wings are just tiny stubs.
00:32The kiwi doesn't even have a tail.
00:34Instead, it has strong legs for running.
00:43And guess what? The kiwi can run faster than you can!
00:47Four toes on each thick foot allow the flightless kiwi to pad silently through its forest home.
00:53The kiwi uses its strong toes and claws to dig dozens of burrows in the soft ground.
01:00Some for nesting.
01:07The kiwi rests in a burrow during the day.
01:10Nighttime is a kiwi's time to look for food.
01:13Tasty earthworms, grubs, snails, berries, and seeds.
01:17How can the kiwi find food in the dark?
01:19By sniffing!
01:21The kiwi is the only bird that has nostrils at the tip of its bill.
01:25The kiwi stabs its bill into the soft ground to sniff out a meal.
01:29No other bird finds its food this way.
01:32A bird this size should lay an egg about this size.
01:36But instead, the mother kiwi wins the prize for laying the biggest egg in relation to her body size for any bird.
01:43No matter how you look at them, kiwis are amazing birds.
