Territorium

Apteryx est genus avium sine volatu, quae in Nova Zelandia endemicae sunt. Solum genus familiae Apterygidarum et ordinis Apterygiformium est. Apteryges, magnitudine galli fere, multo minimae aves infraclassis Palaeognatharum sunt, quae etiam struthiones camelos, dromaios novaehollandiae, rheas, et casuarios comprehendit.

Ovum Apterygis est unum ex maximis ad magnitudinem adulti corporis pertinens (usque ad 20 centesimas ponderis feminae) ullius speciei avium descriptae.^[3] Propter alias Apterygis adaptationes unicas, praecipue pennas capillaceas, crura brevia et pinguia, ac nares in extremo rostro longissimo, quibus praeda non visa detegitur, hae aves notissimae inter multas civitates sunt. Apteryx quidem icon Novae Zelandiae est, tam clarissima quam kiwi, suum nomen Maorianum, demonymum hominum Novae Zelandiae facta est.^[4]
