Did you know Aotearoa New Zealand has an extraordinary variety of native reptiles? We share this country with tuatara, sea snakes, sea kraits, marine turtles and a whopping 126 species of lizards. More reptiles are still being discovered, too!
In collaboration with our friends at the Otago Regional Council, University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka, Southern Lakes Sanctuary, Orokonui Ecosanctuary – Te Korowai o Mihiwaka, and Southern Scales, the Museum is going wild for these radical reptiles with a whole day of family fun.
There will be expert talks, advice on backyard lizard conservation, reptiles to spot in the galleries, crafts, face painting, storytelling, and a free screening of Rango.
Come on down and celebrate our native reptiles, many of which you won't find anywhere else in the world!
