The post 4 of New Zealand’s Most Exotic Animals appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>When you’re out in New Zealand searching for wildlife, here are 4 peculiar native creatures to look out for.
Only around 100 left worldwide, the kakapo is a fluffy, flightless, and nocturnal parrot that can sometimes be found waddling around the forest floor.
The only remaining kind of reptile older than the dinosaurs, the tuatara is known as a “living fossil.” Of immense importance to science, it is hard to find tuataras in the wild so you will have to find them in captivity such as at Aukland Zoo.
The kea is the world’s only parrot that lives in the snow. It is known for being intensely intelligent and can be found all over the country searching for food. Fittingly, a group of kea is known as a circus.
The kiwi is a must-see on any New Zealand trip. Known as the country’s national animal, it is a sight to behold. Not only do they look really cute but see if you can spot one of their eggs—they’re about a quarter of the female’s body weight!
