*''Japanese'': ヤンバルクイナ ''(Yanbaru kuina)''
The ''Yanbaru kuina'' is a species of flightless bird, a rail, endemic to the [[Yanbaru]] region of northern [[Okinawa Island]].
They are known to eat a variety of fruits and small creatures, including bayberries (J: ''yamamomo''), snails, earthworms, and insects.
Kuina populations are endangered by development, cars and other human sources of danger, and by the island's invasive [[mongoose]] population.<ref>Gallery labels, Okinawa Prefectural Museum.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/9511497423/sizes/l]</ref>
