Activity 1: Curious Kiwi, a native New Zealand bird, is your tour guide for today. He is going to take you to visit the Otorohanga Kiwi House and Native Bird Park where many of his aunties and uncles currently live. The bird park is a five hour drive from Dargaville so you hit the road right after breakfast and arrive in Otorohanga at lunch time. As you walk through the birdhouse you learn about the work being done to conserve and protect the native birds of New Zealand. You decide to help out by ‘adopting’ a native animal. Visit the ‘Adopt a Critter page’ on the Otorohanga bird house website to choose one animal to adopt. On your blog, tell us the name of the animal that you chose and a little bit about them. What kind of animal are they? What do they eat? Where do they normally live? You can use Google to help you with your research.
Kingdom: Animalia
Class: Reptilia
Family: Sphenodontidae
Appearance: Greenish, brown and grey
Hi Freeman
ReplyDeleteGreat bunch of facts about the Tuatara! How did the other species of Tuatara go extinct? Were they eaten by other animals? Keep up the amazing winter learning journey activities.

Kia Ora Freeman you have some really awesome fact. I didn't know that Tuatara's eat frogs and sea birds. Really interesting. I have learnt something new about Tuatara's. Keep up the amazing work.
