Birds
What distinguishes a bird? One of the first things that comes to mind is that it can fly. However, not all birds can fly. Keep Swiping to know more about those birds.
Penguins
All 18 penguin species are unable to fly and are instead better adapted to swimming and diving, which they spend most of their time doing.
Kiwi
There are five species of kiwi, which are brown chicken-sized birds. They have silky, hairlike feathers and hidden vestigial wings.
Takahe
This New Zealand mid-sized bird is an expert at hide-and-seek. It was assumed to be extinct until 1948.
Cassowary
You don't want to mess with this bird. This massive bird, endemic to Australia and the neighbouring islands, is a heavyweight.
Kakapo
The kakapo, commonly known as an owl parrot, is a New Zealand native. This bird has the face of an owl, the attitude of a penguin, and the movement of a duck.
Ostrich
The ostrich is the world's largest extant bird and the largest member of the ratite infraclass Palaeognathae.
Conclusion
Many flightless birds went extinct years ago because they were unable to escape imported predators. For more such information, stay tuned to Jagran Josh.
