      They also have one of the largest egg size to mother size ratios of any species of bird.

          They say it’s the equivalent of a human giving birth to a 10yo. No wonder the mother’s bugger off after laying and let the father deal with it

            They gave all they had. And then some, Jesus.

            Most animals have better births than humans but I, a human woman, would not want to be a kiwi bird (avian variety, IDK what words mean over there).

          Packed very tightly. I believe the mother can’t eat for the last few days of carrying the egg.

      Also, they tear up the forest floor like mad. It looks like the most destructive chicken has come through after a kiwi has been there.

      Man I love SponsorBlock. Saved me 12 seconds, nearly half the video.

      Edit: Direct link to the scream for those without.

        There’s no sponsor in that video.

        … oh god, Youtube’s fucking up the video itself to fuck with adblockers.

          SponsorBlock is useful for more than just skipping sponsored segments, you know. The name is misleading; It’s way more powerful than that. You can also add “Skip intro” and “skip credits” buttons to videos, just like it’s Netflix. Or skip filler and go straight to the meat of the video, like I just did.

          Even if you don’t mind sponsored segments, you should still give it a try. Its got a lot of useful features. Just disable the sponsor skipping feature and enable the other stuff if you want.

    I appreciate that they continued to use a different fruit as a measurement even though there’s no reason why they couldn’t compare the kiwi to some other class of object.

      I compare everything to hail. Gold ball sized hail, base ball sized hail, pea sized hail… It makes it really easy because you don’t need to think of different objects.

        wouldn’t you need to do ‘hail sized pea, hail sized baseball’ etc? otherwise you are comparing the size of hail to other objects, rather than other objects to hail

    Also, platypuses are smaller than you probably thought they were. ( if comparing to beavers and river otters )
