  • South Africa
  • Australia
  • Madagascar
Explanation

The KKP, also known as the Kakapo, is a large flightless nocturnal parrot native to New Zealand. This unique bird has evolved to be nocturnal due to the presence of predators, such as mammals and other birds, which are more active during the day. With its ability to fly extinct, the Kakapo has adapted to life on the forest floor, making New Zealand's diverse and secluded forests its natural habitat. The country's isolation and lack of mammalian predators allowed the Kakapo to thrive until the arrival of humans and introduced predators threatened its existence.
