The Kakapo, a species of giant parrot native to New Zealand. Unlike most parrot species, the Kakapo feeds on the ground and is flightless. It grows to large sizes, and is an excellent example of island gigantism, a phenomenon in which mainland species that migrate to islands begin to evolve to larger sizes. Similar trends show in most of New Zealand’s fauna, including the Haast’s Eagle.
