    "Try to imagine yourself in a New Zealand forest
    You get your first look at this "half foot turkey" as you enter a clearing
    He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex, he'll lose you if you don't move.
    But no, not the kiwi.
    You stare at him, and he just stares right back.
    And that's when the attack comes.
    Not from the front, but from behind, from the other kiwi you didn't even know were there. Because Kiwi's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this- a one-and-a-half-inch beak, like a razor, in the middle of his face. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, oh no... He slashes at you here, [makes slashing motions below the child's ankle] or here... [below the knee] Or maybe even taps you here, right on the behind
    The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you.
    So you know...
    try to show a little respect."

      huh, I thought Brown Kiwis were found over both islands. I think it is probably filmed at Zealandia in Wellington on the NORTH Island simply because, they said the Kiwis were habituated to allow filming, and Zealandia is the most logical location for such things.
