  • 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.[1]
