Essentially, no. However, when the kiwifruit was introduced to New Zealand, it had the name of Chinese Gooseberry, having originated in China. It was renamed in New Zealand to "kiwifruit" because of its round shape and hairy brown surface.

∙ 11y agoYes. The kiwi is a small, flightless bird endemic to New Zealand. Being flightless, its rudimentary wings are so small as to be completely invisible, and it has no external tail. The female is larger than the male, and stands up to 50cm tall, depending on the species. Its long, thin bill averages from 9-20 cm in length, again depending on the species. The kiwi has sharp-clawed legs which are surprisingly widely spaced apart, meaning that it walks with an unusual, rolling gait.
There are several species of kiwi.
- The North Island Brown Kiwi has a thick covering of shaggy, hairy, brown-grey feathers.
- The Great Spotted Kiwi, also known as the Great Grey Kiwi, varies from grey to light brown in colour, but its feathers are covered with black spots. It is the largest of the kiwis.
- Other varieties include the Lesser Spotted Kiwi, Rowi, and Tokoeka, which have the same basic, round kiwi body with long, slender bill.
