Not dangerous Animals


One of the funniest animals in New Zealand is the kiwi. But please do not confuse this animal with the fruit of the same name "Kiwi". The kiwi is the heraldic animal of New Zealand they can usually find the kiwi at night, as it sleeps during the day.

This funny guy with the name "Kakapo" does not like to see New Zealand because he loves to destroy things. Such as gaskets of cars. He has a very nice green plumage and you can find him almost everywhere, where there are trees.
