The animal on the cover of R for Data Science is the kakapo (Strigops habroptilus). Also known as the owl parrot, the kakapo is a large flightless bird native to New Zealand. Adult kakapos can grow up to 64 centimeters in height and 4 kilograms in weight. Their feathers are generally yellow and green, although there is significant variation between individuals. Kakapos are nocturnal and use their robust sense of smell to navigate at night. Although they cannot fly, kakapos have strong legs that enable them to run and climb much better than most birds.
The name kakapo comes from the language of the native Maori people of New Zealand. Kakapos were an important part of Maori culture, both as a food source and as a part of Maori mythology. Kakapo skin and feathers were also used to make cloaks
and capes.
Due to the introduction of predators to New Zealand during European colonization, kakapos are now critically endangered, with less than 200 individuals currently living. The government of New Zealand has been actively attempting to revive the kakapo population by providing special conservation zones on three predator-free islands.
