∙ 12y agoThe kiwi is not rare, although it is found only in New Zealand.
Figures vary, but the count of kiwi in New Zealand, as of 2008, was believed to be 72,600. Of the five recognised species, only two are officially endangered. The kiwi is subject to predation by introduced animals, however, and it is estimated that, by 2018, the figure will have fallen to 63,500.

No. A kiwi lays one large egg (about six times the size of an egg from another bird of the same size) then, 24 days later, lays another egg. The second egg is beginning to develop as soon as the first is laid. On rare occasions, a kiwi may lay a third egg. The kiwi can lay only one egg at a time, as the egg is huge - about 15-20% of the kiwi's total body weight.
