Possibly the Kakapo, a ground-dwelling nocturnal parrot.
OR perhaps the Tuatara, Sphenodon spp., dating from about 70 M years ago, a true descendant of the early Dinosaurs. They live to perhaps 150 years, and can be very slow moving. [A friend of mine visited an exhibit of Tuatara in UK, which he studied for 15 min or so. He marvelled at the remarkably realistic reproduction and life-like pose; - - but then the Tuatara blinked!]
OR perhaps the Kiwi, a flightless nocturnal bird that lives in deep burrows under the tree roots. Its nostrils are at the ed of its long beak!
All are endangered.

How did maori get to NZ?
answ2. The kiwi belongs to a group of flightless birds known as Ratites.This group includes the cassowary, emu, ostrich, and kiwi. These birds have never been able to fly as they lack a 'keel bone' to which flight muscles are attached.That last statement is open to discussion, as more research is conducted and DNA trees are unravelled. In any event, none of the close ancestors possessed the power of flight.Remember, birds most probably evolved from dinosaurs, and apart from some dino's who have 'wings' similar to bats, (really arms with stretched skin); there were no flying dinosaurs.Reverting to the question, modern research suggests that the Kiwi arrived in NZ later than the Moa, and possibly by a series of island hops.A1. It flew to New Zealand and because there are no predators the Kiwi lost its ability to fly. [NOT SO]
