Baby Tuatara at Pūkaha
A BIG kia ora to,
Ohorere 👋
Ohorere is the first Tuatara to hatch at Pūkaha since 2005.
Named by one of our Cultural Advisors Mike Kawana, Ohorere means to be surprised or shocked in Te reo.
Ohorere was found by a small class that noticed a hatched egg in our Tuatara enclosure.
This little guy took everyone by surprise even our Rangers and Staff!
Look at him sitting proudly, you may even see his little egg tooth if you look close enough👀.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
