EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are introduced to a remarkable creature known as the Tuatara. With its distinctive identification tag proudly displayed, this ancient reptile takes center stage at the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellington, North Island. Resembling a mythical dragon straight out of David Wall's imagination, the Tuatara is no ordinary lizard. This cold-blooded marvel belongs to a unique group called Rhynchocephalia and holds an esteemed title as one of nature's living fossils. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time since 2006, it becomes evident that the Tuatara is truly extraordinary. Its scaly skin tells tales of resilience and adaptation over millions of years. Native only to New Zealand, these prehistoric creatures have managed to survive against all odds. With its piercing eyes and enigmatic presence, our tuatara friend invites us into its world - a sanctuary where it reigns supreme. The lush greenery surrounding it serves as a reminder of the untouched beauty found within New Zealand's wildlife havens. So let us celebrate this magnificent reptile captured by Ardea Picture Library! Let us cherish the wonders of nature that continue to amaze and inspire us. And above all else, let us remember that even in today's fast-paced world, there are still hidden treasures waiting to be discovered right on our doorstep!
