🐦Kagu
Kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus) är en unik långbent, gråaktig fågel som är ensam nu levande medlem i familjen Rhynochetidae. Den finns endast i de täta, fuktiga bergsskogarna på Nya Kaledonien. Kagun kan nästan inte flyga och bygger av pinnar ett bo på marken, där den lägger ett enda ägg. Den har visat sig sårbar för introducerade råttor och katter och är utrotningshotad. På grund av att arten lever i en svårtillgänglig miljö och är ovanlig är inte mycket känt om dess levnadssätt.
