$1.20 Great Spotted Kiwi gummed stamp.
Great spotted kiwi / roroa is the largest species of kiwi, found only in the northern South Island. Great spotted kiwi are New Zealand’s least known species of kiwi, but we know that their numbers are dwindling despite living in harsh environments where conditions are tough even for a stoat, dog or cat. At nesting time, incubation is shared between the male and female parents.
