A History Of The Birds Of New Zealand Apteryx Buller Jg Keulemans John Gerrard Keulemans Keulemans Kiwi Sauropsid Sauropsida Watercolor Apterygidae Apterygiformes


EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting depicts the Little Spotted Kiwi, also known as the Kiwi Pukupuku (Apteryx owenii), a native bird species endemic to New Zealand. Painted by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," this artwork was published in Volume 3, Plate 49, in 1888. The Little Spotted Kiwi is a small, flightless bird belonging to the Apterygidae family and the Apterygiformes order. It is one of five kiwi species found in New Zealand, and it is characterized by its distinctive brown feathers with white spots and a long, pointed beak. The bird's cryptic plumage helps it blend in with the forest floor, making it an excellent camouflage against predators. The Little Spotted Kiwi is native to the North Island and parts of the South Island of New Zealand. They typically inhabit forested areas with dense vegetation, and they are primarily nocturnal, feeding on insects, worms, and other invertebrates. Due to habitat loss and predation, the population of the Little Spotted Kiwi has declined significantly, and it is currently classified as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This beautiful watercolor painting is a testament to the rich natural history of New Zealand and the important role that art plays in documenting and preserving the natural world. Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the Little Spotted Kiwi make this artwork a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art or ornithology.
