Apteryx rowi Tennyson, AJD; Palma, RL; Robertson, HA; Worthy, TH; Gill, BJ 2003

The Okarito kiwi, 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 Ōkārito forest on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, and has a population of about only 600 birds. Source: Wikipedia
