Shagged by a rare parrot - Last Chance To See - BBC Two

http://www.bbc.co.uk/lastchancetosee

Stephen Fry and zoologist Mark Carwardine head to the ends of the earth in search of animals on the edge of extinction.

In New Zealand the travellers make their way through one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. They are on a journey to find the last remaining kakapo, a fat, flightless parrot which, when threatened with attack, adopts a strategy of standing very still indeed.

So sad... Polish wiki says about 150 Kakapos.

[Cre'lus A'ka]

There are only around 126 living Kakapo known to exist, most of which have been given names. They are on the BRINK of the brink of extinction.
