New Zealand Kakapo

Kakapo (Strigops habroptila)

The video provided here is short, but it shows these amazing birds from New Zealand. As of February of this year (2012) there are only 126 known to exist. These guys are critically endangered. I dare say that seeing one in person is a dream, so here is one of the worlds rarest animal species, here in My Zoo.
Kakapo in the Maori language means 'Night Parrot'.

Well... I guess somethings are best left in the wild! I'm still glad to have the endangered Kakapo in My Zoo, even if it is a bit species confused...

Zoos they can be seen at:
There are no zoos to view these extremely rare parrots in.
