Is that a bird?

Where are its big, feathery wings?

Why does it have whiskers like a cat?

A kiwi can't be a bird, can it?

The answer, Charlie learns is simply evolutionary.

Presented by Peter Reynolds and FableVision and supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, this is an easy to understand scientific adventure. Charlie and Kiwi (with help from great, great, great, great, great Grandpa Charles Darwin) take you on a journey through time and through a huge scientific principle. The story of evolution--and that strange little Kiwi bird--reminds us that sometimes what seems like a raw deal (a bird that can't fly) turns out to be just perfect!
