The first pure white kiwi to have hatched into captivity anywhere in the world has died
Manukura hatched at the Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre at Mount Bruce in Masterton in May 2011 - genetically, she was a North Island Brown Kiwi but because of an extremely rare genetic trait carried by both parents, she was pure white.
