I got to touch a Tuatara! They are an endangered species found only here in NZ and they have been around since the dinosaurs! Over 200 million years!
He felt so soft, not scaly at all. And he was cold to the touch. And he was so cute. He had big dark eyes and looked like he had a big smile on his face. Such a once in a life time opportunity!
For all those not up on their Native New Zealand fauna   Here's a link to some info on tuataras. http://www.doc.govt.nz/Conservation/...ls/Tuatara.asp ANd I've added a wee pic.
I still can't believe it!!  |
Awesome! I am very jealous!
