Are morepork endemic?

In: Animal Life [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. Endemic (for birds) is generally taken to mean restricted to a single country. The Morepork is an owl spread across New Zealand, Tasmania and some Australian Islands (e.g. Lord Howe Island), so by the general definition, it's not endemic.
