Kiwi Information Report

  Kiwis
Kiwi are a native animal from NZ that do not fly and come out at night. They have strong feet and a long beak with a strong sense of smell. It has the long beak for jabbing the dirt and sniffing for bugs. Their legs are for kick predators and scratching the ground.

The kiwi  does have a lot of mammal-like features but they are not mammals. About 27 kiwi are killed by predators every week. That’s a population decline of around 1,400 kiwi every year.  At this rate, kiwi may disappear from the mainland in our lifetime. One hundred years ago kiwi numbered in the millions.  One dog can wipe out an entire kiwi population in a matter of days, 50% of chicks survive.

Their adaptations are not working for them as well as they used to. Before people kiwi had no predators and lived well. When the maōri came they got people as a predator and then the pakeha people started bring dogs, cats, rats, stoats and weasels here. The kiwi can't fly so they are sitting ducks. They stopped flying so they did not have to compete with the other birds.

In 2019 the population of kiwi was around 68,000 and declining.

Here is some links to a site with good kiwi facts

Current Events Facts

The capital of Belguim is Brussels. It has 1.2 million people and is home to the European Union headquaters.
Despite the high alert for terrorist attacks, Brussels is a safe place to live. There may be the risk of something happening but this is the case in many European countries. Brussels is the biggest city in Belgium and it's home to the  parliament. It's also a major business hub of Europe which means it's expensive since the city caters to a lot of wealthy business people. Attractions are on the expensive side and  items like buses and train and food can be rough on the wallet.

Current Events

Hi There!

Today I'm going to talk about current events in the news. Scientists have been looking at a planet forming for the first time and they are using a very special telescope. 

Guess what that telescope was named. Drum roll.... 

It was called Very Large Telescope! 

It is located at European Southen Obersvatory and the scientists found a star sytem being born. Images show a spiral of dust and gas around what they call a young star called AB Aurigae. 

This is an image off their web site,  I think it is one they got out of the telescope.
