Its tiny, usually single baby turns out better then a layer of cubs due to the poor nutritional value of their diet, and ads to its zoo popularity. Since Victorians received the first kiwi corpses in London, its exceptionally big egg in proportion, requiring ten days to ponder, contributed to speculation concerning its relatives -ostriches, casuary, emu- and loss of flight. It seems they descend not from a local giant but from a small South American bird flying all over Oceania and abandoning energy-consuming flying due to lack of predators and easy foraging, which security also makes raising a single chick intensively more sensible then a nest with spares.
