Manukura the Little White Kiwi

Описание: Is it albino? Nope! Manukura is a leucistic North Island brown kiwi and the only one of her kind in captivity in the world. She hatched at Pukaha National Wildlife Centre on the 1st May 2011. She is white as her parents both have a recessive white feather gene. To date, 5 white kiwi have hatched at Pukaha Mount Bruce (3 have lived to maturity).
