I like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

How have I never noticed that these goobers don't have arms or nothin. I can't imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

This is God's creature right here.

I had to rewatch the video to make sure I got an exact image of what swiggity swooty means

They do have a funny way of speaking it.

They say "LILILILILILI!" Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.

My favorite author is a kiwi who writes In English and teaches it, but for all I know she sounds like the video

Ah, so the kiwi has a bird body but still uses its dinosaur voice.

There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this "WTF BRO" face of horror on. Mayhem.

PS: He's calmed down...after a close to ten minute freak out.

As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn't give less of a shit the second time around. He's over it.

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a 'wtf was that!' expression.

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

They're obviously dead before they put the them out at the grocery store. I bet you don't see yours running around outside either.

I suddenly understand the inspiration behind shows like Lost being made:-).

20

I kept waiting for the show to be finished being made. I didn't want like a Game of Thrones scenario (even though that one hadn't happened yet:-).

Finally I relented and watched season 1. It was so good! Then I heard about the show's ending and... never bothered to watch the rest.:-(

I guess it saved me a bunch of time, so there's that. 🙄

Thanks! Was about to ask about the Darwinian prospects of a flightless, wingless avian colored like a medium rare steak.

If memory serves me correctly it's named for the sound it makes

Yeah its exactly like a Pokemon. I had no idea they went "kiwi kiwi" in a cute voice like this.

Well, kiwis are clearly evil. I never knew! I've always liked the little buggers, and felt bad for them with the whole giant egg situation.

But that's a demon. It deserves egg pain. Shame it only gets the females.

It kinda sounds like Ridley from the GBA Metroid games. I never knew he was a Kiwi, but I guess that's my new head-canon.

He created a small supernova contained by an energy field that requires similar power than what is used by CERN..
