Roke kanae o te manu megapode Megavitiornis altirostris (3 o 3)

Roke kanae o te manu megapode <em>Megavitiornis altirostris</em>

Ko te megapode, he manu kāore e rere. Kāore e kore i patua rawatia e ngā tāngata tōmua ki ngā moutere i reira rātou. I kitea te waewae manu nei i te moutere o Viti Levu i Whītī. Kotahi anake te momo megapode e ora ana i ēnei rā i Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ko te Megapodius pritchardii. Paku iho tēnei manu i a Megavitiornis altirostris. Ko tōna nohonga kei te moutere puia o Niuafo’ou i Tonga.
