The Okarito Brown kiwi, or Rowi, is only found in the thick Okarito forest on the central west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
The Rowi, or Okarito Rowi, is rare, and found only around Okarito on the South Island.
Two species of kiwis are endangered. The Okarito Kiwi, or Rowi (Apteryx rowi) is critically endangered and the brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) is endangered.
Of all the kiwi species, the Okarito Kiwi, or Rowi(Apteryx rowi) is the only one that is critically endangered.It is therefore the most endangered of the kiwi species.
There is no particular species of kiwi called the "South Island Kiwi". Other different species of kiwi inhabit different areas of New Zealand's South Island.the Haast Tokoeka kiwi is found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands of the South Islandthe Southern Tokoeka is found only in the far south of the South Island, as well as Stewart Islandthe great Spotted kiwi is found in forest areas in the north of the South Islandthe Rowi, or Okarito Rowi, is rare, and found only around Okarito
This varies according to the species of kiwi. Different species inhabit different areas of New Zealand.the Haast Tokoeka kiwi is found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands of the South Islandthe Brown kiwi is found only on the North Islandthe Southern Tokoeka is found only in the far south of the South Island, as well as Stewart Islandthe great Spotted kiwi is found in forest areas in the north of the South Islandthe Rowi, or Okarito Rowi, is rare, and found only around Okarito
The different species of kiwi live in fairly similar areas, mostly grasslands and forest.The great spotted kiwi lives in alpine grassland in part of its range, and lower grasslands in others.The little spotted kiwi lives in flax and shrub grassland (rougher grassland is not as lived in) and in older forests.The Okarito kiwi lives only in the Okarito forest.The brown kiwi live in temperatre or subtropical forests, shrub/bush and grassland, prefering denser areas. The North Island brown kiwi is more resilient than the Southern brown, living in pine forest and on plantations.
