Animales amenazados

Cacapos are flightless birds that climb instead of flying. They face threats from predators like rats and stoats, which has led to a significant decline in their population. To protect them, scientists have relocated cacapos to predator-free islands and are actively involved in their conservation. These efforts aim to increase their numbers and remove them from the threatened species list.

How do cacapos primarily move around since they cannot fly?

• They swim.

• They run fast.

What makes cacapos easy targets for predators?

• Their small size.

• Their inability to fly.

• Their loud calls.

• Their bright colors.

What is the current status of the cacapo population?

• Abundant

• Thriving

• Endangered

• Extinct

What strategy have scientists used to protect cacapos from predators?

• Building nests in trees.

• Moving them to predator-free islands.

• Training them to fly.

• Camouflaging their feathers.

What is the goal of the scientists' efforts in caring for cacapo chicks?
