Deep in the rainforests of New Caledonia lives a creature unlike any other on Earth: the Kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus).
Known locally as the "Ghost of the Forest," this nearly flightless, ash-grey bird is an evolutionary enigma. With its striking red eyes, unique nasal corns, and a bark that sounds more like a dog than a bird, the Kagu is the last surviving member of its entire taxonomic family.
Join the Living Zoology team on a remote expedition as we track down this endangered icon. We get up close to witness its incredible territorial calls and foraging for prey.
