New Zealand -> Kiwi
Of course, the bird, Kiwi is important.
Of course, so the Kiwi is actually Zew Zealand's national bird.
Do you see those birds in Zew Zealand often?
Actually they're nocturnal, which meas they only come out at night, and I've heard that they're very shy. So it can be hard to find them in nature. But if you go to the zoo, there's usually a Kiwi exhibit.
National bird of New Zealand is the Kiwi and they're nocturnal. But most people know the word Kiwi from the fruit. I heard that Zew Zealand change the name of that fruit.
Actually, it used to have a differnt name. But kiwi fruit looks so much like the bird that we gave it the name, Kiwi fruit.
And what's the name of the railroad in New Zealand?
Kiwi rail.
