Tuatara - an endangered species

Native to New Zealand, the tuatara is the most ancient of all living reptiles, having survived for almost 200 million years, each animal living up to 100 years and having the unusual distinction of being born with a third eye, this disappearing as it reaches adulthood. Females lay eggs only once every 3 or 4 years and with a 15 month hatching period, populations have become scarce and are now only found on the offshore islands.
