			== In a nutshell ==

			* Southern brown kiwi, tokoeka, or common kiwi (Apteryx australis) is a species of flightless bird from South Island, New Zealand.
			* It belongs to the order Apterygiformes, which includes all kiwis, and is a ratite, meaning it has no keel on its sternum.
			* It has no preen gland, no tail, and no aftershafts or barbules on its feathers. It has large vibrissae around its gape and a long slender bill with nostrils at the tip.
			* It has rufous plumage with some streaking and varies in size from 45 to 55 cm in length and 1.6 to 4 kg in weight. Females are larger than males.
			* It is divided into two subspecies: the Fiordland tokoeka (A. a. australis) and the Stewart Island tokoeka (A. a. lawryi). Some conservationists also recognize the Haast tokoeka (A. a. \"Haast\") as a distinct subspecies.
			* It inhabits temperate and sub-tropical forests, grasslands, shrublands, and sand dunes. It is nocturnal and forages for invertebrates, fallen fruits, and leaves using its keen sense of smell.
			* It is monogamous and territorial. It communicates with vocalizations, such as the male's shrill \"kee-wee\" or \"kee-kee\" and the female's hoarse \"kurr kurr\". It lays one or two eggs in a burrow and the male incubates them for about 90 days. The chicks are precocial and leave the nest after about a week.
			* It is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss, predation by introduced mammals, and diseases. Conservation efforts include predator control, habitat protection, and translocation to predator-free islands.
