	Biodiversity of New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The remaining vegetation types in New Zealand are grassland of grass and tussock, usually associated with the subalpine areas, and the low shrublands between grasslands and forests.
		New Zealand's emblematic kiwi fills the role of a small forager of the leaf-litter, and the enigmatic adzebill was a universal omnivore.
		In the case of the Silvereye, which colonised New Zealand in the 19th century, there was never a relative of the invader in New Zealand's original fauna, and they are restricted to newer man made niches.

	New Zealand
		As well as Auckland, the North Island has two more of New Zealand's four main cities, Wellington which is the capital (and the southernmost national capital in the world), and Hamilton a little south of Auckland which isn't on this map because it's not much of a tourist destination.
		New Zealand doesn't have fireflies but it does have glow-worms, light-emitting larvae which live inside caves or forest grottos, dangling sticky threads from the ceiling to catch flying insects attracted to the light.
		As far as wildlife is concerned, New Zealand was a paradise for birds before humans arrived, unfortunately many of them were wiped out either directly or by the animals which were brought into the country, and many of the rest are nocturnal like the national bird the kiwi, making them difficult to see.

		The Arapawa goats are among the few survivors of the Old English milch (milk) goat which is now extinct to their native England.
		(An original suggestion that they are the descendants of goats released in New Zealand in the eighteenth century by James Cook, has now been disproved by historic research.) Left on Arapawa island to breed as a future source of food and milk by explorers, the goats came under seige in the 1970's.

	Breeds of Livestock - Kiko Goats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The appropriately named Kiko goat was purpose-bred in New Zealand for meat production – the Maori word “kiko” meaning flesh or meat.
		The developers of the breed were Garrick and Anne Batten of Nelson in the northern South Island, and they developed the Kiko from feral goats that had been liberated or had escaped over the last hundred years or so of European settlement.
		These feral goats could be found in many places throughout the country, and although they were hardy, they were relatively small and produced little meat or milk.

		Fort Denison, a small island east of the Opera House and visible from Bennelong Point, was originally used as a special prison for the tough nuts the penal colony couldn't crack: locals still call it "Pinchgut" alluding to the starvation conditions.
		During the Crimean Wars in the mid-nineteenth century, however, old fears of a Russian invasion were rekindled and the fort was built as part of a defence ring around the harbour.
		Eventually Anderson ended up on the penal settlement of Norfolk Island halfway between Australia and New Zealand, where under the humane prison reform experiments of Alexander Maconochie, the abused Anderson made a startling transformation responsibly managing the island's signal station.
