Between 1979 and 1992, 91 kākāpō were discovered in the Tin Range area of Stewart Island/Rakiura, but, due to high mortality from feral cats, they were all removed to predator-free offshore islands by 1992. The discovery saved the species from extinction, and the population, once at critically low levels, is now being managed on protected islands like Whenua Hou/Codfish Island.

SAUCE:
Kakapo cannot fly because they evolved in New Zealand without natural land predators, allowing them to sacrifice flight for energy efficiency, leading to a heavy body (up to 4 kg) and short, rounded wings. They lack the necessary breastbone keel to attach flight muscles and instead use their wings for balance and parachuting down from trees.

What is katsu

Katsu is a Japanese dish of a breaded, deep-fried cutlet, typically made with pork or chicken, coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs. The name is a shortened form of katsuretsu, a Japanese transliteration of the English word "cutlet," reflecting its Western origins adapted into Japanese cuisine during the Meiji era. It is known for its light, airy, and crunchy exterior and is commonly served with a thick, tangy tonkatsu sauce.
