Sphenodon punctatus
Sphenodon is an ancient survivor from the Juassic period - the age of dinosaurs and survives in limited numbers on some of New Zealands outlying islands where predators have been eliminated. Sex is determined by temperature so there are concerns that global warming might result in a much higher percentage of males.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Jurassic Jive: Tuatara Lizard - The Ultimate Time Traveler!". Step into the prehistoric era with this print of MAB-501, the incredible Tuatara lizard from Rainbow Springs in New Zealand. As a living fossil, this ancient survivor takes us back to the age of dinosaurs, reminding us of their majestic reign. Sphenodon, as it is scientifically known, has defied time and predators on New Zealand's outlying islands where they roam freely. However, there's a twist! Sex determination in these reptiles depends on temperature. With global warming knocking at our doorsteps, concerns arise about an unexpected surge in male tuataras. Imagine a world filled with dapper gentlemen lizards strutting their stuff! Will they be trading fashion tips or competing for attention? Only time will tell! But let's not forget that this relic from another era deserves our utmost protection. Threatened and endangered, these long-lived creatures are true survivors worth cherishing. Mark Boulton captures their essence beautifully in this stunning photo print. So why not bring home a piece of history? Hang MAB-501 proudly on your wall and let its presence transport you to an era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Let it serve as a reminder that we hold the key to preserving these remarkable species for generations to come. After all, who wouldn't want a touch of Jurassic jive in their lives?
