If you travel to New Zealand, you will find one of the most unique-looking birds on the planet. Known as the Kiwi, these flightless birds have feathers that look like fur and whiskers much like a cat. In fact, its easy to mistake these creatures for mammals rather than birds. Like mammals, their bones are filled with marrow, and compared to most birds, they have a phenomenal sense of smell.

History

Because they are native to New Zealand, there are many people in other parts of the world not familiar with these beautiful creatures. A silver coin featuring the Kiwi can be a great introduction to these remarkable birds. Because they are without a keel or sternum to anchor

their wing muscles, these birds are forced to survive on the ground only. However, they do a pretty good job of that, as many kiwis live for up to 50 years. Kiwis are believed to be over 30 million years old, though due to factors such as deforestation, many believe this species is close to becoming endangered.
