<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="apteryx-owenii"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Apteryx owenii (Little Spotted Kiwi) is a living flightless ratite endemic to Kapiti Island, New Zealand, with subfossil records from the mainland. Weighing about 1.3kg, it is the smallest kiwi species. A nocturnal carnivore-omnivore probing soil with its long bill for invertebrates, it was extirpated from the mainland by introduced predators and now survives only on predator-free islands.
