I didn't hear you mention their third eye or maybe I missed it.

Tuataras don’t normally bully each other, yes that’s true. But unless you think about what our really famous tuatara Henry was once like. The Southland Museum here in Invercargill NZ, which houses New Zealand’s largest collection of tuatara, Henry’s been living here since 1970, he used to just attack the other tuatara, another tuatara once there whose name was Albert used to even climb into Henry’s in closure and they would just have a good fight, Henry’s aggression was caused by a cancerous tumour but it got removed in 2002 so Henry has been normal since and he finally paired at the age of 110 years in 2010

I didn't know about Henry! This was really cool to learn about!!

@@AnimalFactFiles Henry is one of the most famous tuatara in the world, if not the most famous, his age is at least 120+ years, his exact age is unknown. He finally became a dad in 2009-10 after years of aggression from a cancerous, unfortunately he lives in the Southland Museum here in Invercargill so some people will have to look him up to see him

@@AnimalFactFiles If you go to my videos back to late 2020 you will find my two videos of the Southland Museum Tuatara curator feeding them, trust me you will love seeing Henry crawling onto the guys leg!

My I suggest another animal that looks like something it is not at all related to? The golden mole. They're super cute but not related to moles despite being pretty much exactly like them.

@AnimalFactFiles 4 года назад

That's a great suggestion!
