My son and I are reading a book and tuataras are in it. We would have never known about this cool creature if we didn't have the book. Very glad we looked up how to pronounce the name because I was WAY off 🤦♀️
Are They illegal to keep in America I can’t find any for sale but then again they have Babies like every 5 years. If someone knows where I can get one lmk
They’re also going extinct because there aren’t enough females being born to reproduce, soooo yeah ☹️ scientists are trying to make them in labs to try and save the species
Tuatara disproves the global flood theory and the ice age theory considering it's virtually unchanged in millions of years. Fossils still look exactly the same as modern day tuatara so basically zero evolution for ever.
You can’t get one of these as a pet, you can however go to see them in special in closures around the country, or if you have the job of feeding them and looking after them, I live in Invercargill and the museum has tuatara in closures, you can go and see the tuatara whenever you want for free but only from the outside, but tuatara is a New Zealand only thing, only found here in New Zealand. Can’t even be found anywhere in Europe, not even Switzerland or Germany,
Yes if they’re lucky to, definitely can live well over 100 years, a very famous tuatara names Henry that we have here in Invercargill, he’s over 120 years now
