	New Zealand animals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The animals of New Zealand have a particularly interesting history because, before the arrival of humans, probably less than 1,300 years ago, the country was completely free of mammals, except those that could swim there (seals, sea lions, and, off-shore, whales) or fly there (bats).
		This meant that all the ecological niches occupied by mammals elsewhere were occupied by either insects or birds, leading to an unusually large number of flightless birds, including the Kiwi, the Moa, and the Kakapo.

		New Zealand's most unigue animal is the Tuatara, which is a lizard-like reptile that predates the Dinosaur and is considered a living fossil.

		New Zealand is also home to many seabirds including the Albatross, which has the longest wing span of any bird in the world.

	New Zealand Native Animals - Tuatara - Christchurch City Libraries
		Stephens Island in Cook Strait is estimated to have a population of between 30,000 and 50,000 tuatara, with other populations on islands off Whangarei, in the Hauraki Gulf, off the Coromandel coast, and in the Bay of Plenty.
		The young tuatara can take up to 9-13 years to become an adult, but will not reach their full size of 56 cm and 600 grams (males) or 45 cm and 350 grams (females) until they are 25-35 years old.
		Tuatara were once widely spread throughout New Zealand, but the introduction of first the kiore (Polynesian rat) and then pigs, dogs, cats and other predators, gradually reduced their numbers until only the off-shore island populations were free from predation.
