My cat is a very special boy and there’s no other cat like him. Does that count?

In captivity: probably red wolves, or some critically endangered birds at the National Aviary.

In the wild: probably some plants endemic to Catalina Island.

Probably a Takahē in New Zealand but in captivity.

In the wild I’ve seen kiwi, kea, Kākā. I took a trip to mana island in the late 90’s, the kiwi were just wandering around during the day…

I’ve never seen the takahē.

I too saw a kea in the wild near the Milford Sound! Sadly I didn’t see any of the others in the wild. The takahē was also in Zealandia.

I saw takahē in captivity too, in Zealandia. You can sort of see why they almost went extinct - their big defence move is to sit reeeeally still. Big silly chooks.

Yeah I saw the takahē in Zealandia and one other zoo. Would have been cool to see in the wild if possible in the preservation areas the have.

I’m happy just to know they’re there, living their lives.
