The Kakapo is a large parrot. The male Kakapo measures up to at least 60 cm and weighs from 2 to 4 kg when it has fully matured. The Kakapo can not fly because of its shot wings that anchor flight muscles. The Kakapos body has yellowish, greenish feather with black and dark brownish blending in with the other feathers. There are less than 100 kakapo left. The Kakapo lived in New Zealand and for many years were inhabited by birds and reptiles that had no predatory mammals. The Kakapo can live up to average of 90 years but the maximum is 120 years.
