I was reminded of how cool nz can be last night when I came across this:

Obviously I'm not going to say where I was in case there are some Germans trolling this forum with two pairs of undies on.

:cool:
Oh man that is something special!
Yes! I had knowledge that they were there...but actually seeing one blew my mind. Such a cool little beastie!Quote:

Well done, their hard enough to see in an enclosure when you know they are there. Seen a few geckos in the wild but that would be awesome!
Germans with 2 pair of undies?
Some Kraut tried to smuggle one out of NZ, customs found the lizard in between two layers of undiesQuote:

Oh, wow. That's fantastic... and a good sized specimen too. Lucky guy!
Now you've seen that one, chances are you'll start seeing more simply because you know where and how to find them. I'm definitely envious.
Good thing you had your best camera with you to capture this awesome little dinosaur :)
Fantastic! That would make my year. I couldn't shut up after seeing my first kiwi in the wild
Hang yeah - good experience.Quote:

Kiwis are easy, just come to the island and go hunting in the bush on dusk.... Trip over the noisy buggers.Quote:

Took the family to Zealandia, the old Karori wildlife Sanctuary in Wellington. They have heaps of them there, sunny themselves beside the footpath. Would love to see one in the wild.
Nice find!
I had to google them as I didn't know they were even on mainland NZ.
Wiki had this gem to share, thought I'd pass it on.
"A male tuatara named Henry, living at the Southland Museum and Art Gallery, is still reproductively active at 111 years of age."
Top effort Henry.
Yep, top bloke spent many an hour watching him lying in the sun.Quote:
