Geckos and Tuataras
| New Zealand has a variety of Geckos found throughout New Zealand. They are very slow breeders and have been known to live for over 40 years. NZ Gecoks give birth to live geckos, unlike others around the world that lay eggs. They can shed their tail while being eaten by a predator and escape to eventually grow a new one. |
