New Zealand's Murchison mountains hide a very special creature. A species considered extinct for half a century.
Season 1, episode 15: In this video you'll learn about the takahē. Once thought extinct, they were rediscovered in 1948. Though still highly endangered, some takahē survive on offshore islands like Mana Island, near Wellington.
Meet the Locals is a series of mini-documentaries about New Zealand's wildlife, wild places and the people working to protect them.
Each four-minute episode showcases the inspiring work of local communities, businesses and individuals, who make a difference to protecting our natural areas, native species and historic places.
Meet the Locals is a partnership between DOC and TVNZ.

Takahe are truly fascinating birds. As well as being a great example of parallel evolution alongside the North Island Takahe and the Pukeko, they are also a conservation success story and have recovered well since their dramatic rediscovery in 1948. I hope you enjoy!

We’re helping to safeguard the future of takahē in Aotearoa!
Bird keepers Devon and Chris recently set out for Motutapu Island for a three day stay to perform health checks, vaccinations, and transmitter changes on this taonga species. Auckland Zoo staff carry out this important mahi on behalf of Department of Conservation's Takahē Recovery Programme for all of their northern sanctuary sites.
This incredible ground-dwelling bird was thought to be extinct for fifty years until they were famously rediscovered in 1948 and now 450 individual birds survive today. These sanctuary sites currently produce half the chicks in the breeding programme, and ultimately the goal is to establish self-sustaining wild populations in their former South Island habitats.
Using their unique skill sets honed from years of caring for birds at the zoo, our bird keepers are able to transfer these skills to help New Zealand’s species that are vulnerable in the wild – something they’re more than willing to get involved in.

Two takahē live at ZEALANDIA in Wellington. These birds are rare and athreatened native species in the world. ZEALANDIA provides a unique opportunity for people to view these unusual birds in a nature habitat. They roam free within the 225 hectares of the sanctuary but are often found near the wetlands area.

Takahē
The takahē, Notornis, or South Island takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) is a flightless bird indigenous to New Zealand and belonging to the rail family. It was thought to be extinct after the last four known specimens were taken in 1898. However, after a carefully planned search effort the bird was rediscovered by Geoffrey Orbell near Lake Te Anau in the Murchison Mountains, South Island, on 20 November 1948. The specific scientific name commemorates the Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter.
Taxonomy and systematics
A related species, the North Island takahē (P. mantelli) or mōho is extinct and only known from skeletal remains. Both forms were long assumed to be subspecies of mantelli, and were usually placed in the genus Notornis. However, it has been determined that the differences between Porphyrio and Notornis were insufficient for separating the latter, whereas the differences between the North and South Island forms justified the splitting into two species, as each evolved independently towards flightlessness.

Mount Takahe
Mount Takahe is a large, snow-covered shield volcano standing 64 km SE of Toney Mountain in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It is roughly circular, about 29 km across, and has a caldera up to 8 km wide. At 780 cubic km, it is a massive volcano. The volcano may have last erupted during the Holocene, and thus it is probably a potentially active volcano.
Takahe was probably among those viewed from a distance by Admiral Byrd and other members of the USAS in plane flights from the ship Bear on Feb. 24 and 25, 1940. It was visited in December 1957 by members of the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, 1957–58, who applied the name. "Takahe," the Māori name for a flightless, almost extinct New Zealand bird, is the nickname of the U.S. Navy LC-47 aircraft whose crew resupplied the traverse party near this mountain and assisted by providing aerial reconnaissance to locate passable routes.
Gill Bluff
Gill Bluff (76°14′S 112°33′W / 76.233°S 112.550°W / -76.233; -112.550) is a rock bluff on the northwest side of Mount Takahe, in Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Allan Gill, aurora researcher at Byrd Station in 1963.

Bird keepers Devon and Chris recently set out for Motutapu Island for a three day stay to perform health checks, vaccinations, and transmitter changes on this taonga species. Auckland Zoo staff carry out this important mahi on behalf of Department of Conservation's Takahē Recovery Programme for all of their northern sanctuary sites.
This incredible ground-dwelling bird was thought to be extinct for fifty years until they were famously rediscovered in 1948 and now 450 individual birds survive today. These sanctuary sites currently produce half the chicks in the breeding programme, and ultimately the goal is to establish self-sustaining wild populations in their former South Island habitats.
Using their unique skill sets honed from years of caring for birds at the zoo, our bird keepers are able to transfer these skills to help New Zealand’s species that are vulnerable in the wild – something they’re more than willing to get involved in.

Takahe are truly fascinating birds. As well as being a great example of parallel evolution alongside the North Island Takahe and the Pukeko, they are also a conservation success story and have recovered well since their dramatic rediscovery in 1948. I hope you enjoy!

We’re helping to safeguard the future of takahē in Aotearoa!
Bird keepers Devon and Chris recently set out for Motutapu Island for a three day stay to perform health checks, vaccinations, and transmitter changes on this taonga species. Auckland Zoo staff carry out this important mahi on behalf of Department of Conservation's Takahē Recovery Programme for all of their northern sanctuary sites.
This incredible ground-dwelling bird was thought to be extinct for fifty years until they were famously rediscovered in 1948 and now 450 individual birds survive today. These sanctuary sites currently produce half the chicks in the breeding programme, and ultimately the goal is to establish self-sustaining wild populations in their former South Island habitats.
Using their unique skill sets honed from years of caring for birds at the zoo, our bird keepers are able to transfer these skills to help New Zealand’s species that are vulnerable in the wild – something they’re more than willing to get involved in.

Two takahē live at ZEALANDIA in Wellington. These birds are rare and athreatened native species in the world. ZEALANDIA provides a unique opportunity for people to view these unusual birds in a nature habitat. They roam free within the 225 hectares of the sanctuary but are often found near the wetlands area.
Takahē
The takahē, Notornis, or South Island takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) is a flightless bird indigenous to New Zealand and belonging to the rail family. It was thought to be extinct after the last four known specimens were taken in 1898. However, after a carefully planned search effort the bird was rediscovered by Geoffrey Orbell near Lake Te Anau in the Murchison Mountains, South Island, on 20 November 1948. The specific scientific name commemorates the Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter.
Taxonomy and systematics
A related species, the North Island takahē (P. mantelli) or mōho is extinct and only known from skeletal remains. Both forms were long assumed to be subspecies of mantelli, and were usually placed in the genus Notornis. However, it has been determined that the differences between Porphyrio and Notornis were insufficient for separating the latter, whereas the differences between the North and South Island forms justified the splitting into two species, as each evolved independently towards flightlessness.
