Yes. The kiwi is endemic to New Zealand. Its natural habitat is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns, as well as temperate rainforests. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas.
No. Kiwi are endemic to New Zealand alone.

The kiwi is endemic to New Zealand. Its natural habitat is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas. Kiwi are strong swimmers. Ways to help it include supervising domestic animals (dogs are responsible for a huge number of kiwi deaths) and to limit further deforestation. Being nocturnal helps the kiwi to avoid predators as it forages for food.
The kiwi's natural biome is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas. Other species live in the grassland biome. The Haast Brown kiwi, for example, can be found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands. The Great spotted kiwi lives in alpine grassland in part of its range, and lower grasslands in others.
No. Kiwi are nocturnal.
