The Tuatara 

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog I hope you are all doing well. Today I am going to be blogging about another topic from uncle Don knows heaps of wacky stuff journals. Although at this point I have been researching a totally different topic. As some of you may know the topic of my blog is the tuatara, the tuatara is one of New Zealand's endemic creatures meaning can only be found in New Zealand. The tuatara looks very similar to a lizard but is not, it is known to be the only living dinosaur alive. It is known for its third eye sitting in the top center of its skull. In this Hurumanu we were given the task to make a DLO filled with as many facts of the topic we had chosen. 

The tuatara comes from the Rhynchocephalia family that lived in the time of the dinosaurs. The name tuatara is a Maori word meaning peaks on back or spiny back. They adore cool weather such as lizards like warm weather. Tuataras can regrow their tails if it has been chopped off by a predator. Tuataras are found offshore and in the mainlands. I hope you enjoyed my blog so far, thank you for taking your time to read my blog. Don't forget to check out my other uncle don knows heaps of wacky stuff blogs. Hope you have a good one! Cheers!
