Kakapo is a large nocturnal parrot that cannot fly. It lives only in New Zealand, moves on the ground, and is one of the rarest birds on the planet.
Kakapo differs from other parrots by its nocturnal lifestyle, inability to fly, and very long life. It is important for New Zealand's nature as part of an ancient unique ecosystem, but now needs protection due to introduced predators.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
