Takahe

The Takahe or South Island Takahe, Porphyrio hochstetteri is a flightless bird
indigenous to New Zealand and belonging to the rail family. It was thought to
be extinct after the last four known specimens were taken in 1898. However,
after a carefully planned search effort the bird was rediscovered by Geoffrey
Orbell near Lake Te Anau in the Murchison Mountains, South Island, on November
20, 1948. The specific scientific name commemorates the Austrian geologist
Ferdinand von Hochstetter.
