A new pigeon species, the Zealandian Dove, which is related to the extinct dodo, has been identified at the Central Otago fossil site near St Bathans on the South Island of New Zealand by researchers from New Zealand and Australia.
Today, New Zealand only has two species of native pigeons—the New Zealand Pigeon and the closely-related Chatham Island Pigeon.
