Marohi the kiwi

Meet Marohi whose name means strength, bravery and determination. Marohi was named by kids of Ngunguru School.

Marohi was  caught on 27/10/16 on Limestone Island. He had no tps so is presumed to be island bred. His parents would have come from the Purua/Riponui area ie the Doc study blocks and surrounding trapped farmland.
 
Marohi was less than a year old when released based on his weight and bill length.

One of the kiwi trackers Cam McInnes reports “We haven’t had a signal from her since the 17th of March despite having four trackers and multiple days of dedicated searching.  It could be an issue with the transmitter as it was always a very quiet signal and the volume would fluctuate when receiving the info. We’ll keep looking!​​​
