The kiwi is native to New Zealand, and is not found anywhere else in the world, either in the wild or in captivity. For many years, it was thought that the kiwi and the emu of Australia shared a common ancestor, but very recent research has shown this is not likely to be the case. DNA testing of the kiwi and the long-extinct elephant bird of Madagascar showed that these two are more closely related. Scientists now theorise that both burrs came from a common ancestor in Antarctica, before it became a frozen continent.
