The Great Spotted Kiwi, Great Grey Kiwi, or Roroa Apteryx haastii is the largest of the kiwi. It is highly aggressive and pairs will defend their large territories (49 acres) against other kiwi. They are nocturnal, and will sleep during the day in burrows.

This photo was taken on the Kiwi Walk at the Otorohanga Kiwi House. The other is a stuffed Great Spotted Kiwi.
