Nature is beautiful and New Zealand is one of the best places to go to enjoy nature. Those who live in New Zealand get to enjoy the beauty of nature daily as the country is riddled with wondrous bodies of water, land formations, flora, and fauna that are definitely breathtaking. Immigrants in the country can attest to this and they have a grand time exploring the new country that they are living in.
The animals in New Zealand have also been the center of
attention for many immigrants and for a good number of locals as well. They are
beautiful and are marvelous to look at. See, there are ordinary animals in the
country that can be seen in other countries and then there are also unique
animals in New Zealand that can only be found in the country. Animals are
always adorable to plenty of people and New Zealand’s animals definitely do not
disappoint.
Three of the amazing animals that people can find in NewZealand are the little blue penguins, the kereru, and the weta.
Little blue penguins
These little animals have a height of just about 25
centimeters or 9.84 inches and they are known all over the world for being the
smallest. Years ago, the little blue penguins were a common sight all around
the country, however, because of predators, the little animals have moved to
islands that were offshore as a way of survival. Most of these penguins have
colonies that can be found in harbors in the mainland that were sheltered, like
Taiaroa Head and Oamaru. When the night comes, the penguins then go to the
shore.
Kereru
The kereru is a bird and it is also known in New Zealand as
the wood pigeon. It is quite large and has a vest of white feathers. It also
wears a crown of green feathers. This animal is not on the endangered list
unlike many animals in the world so spotting them in the country would be quite
easy. There are plenty of areas in New Zealand that are forested so kererus can
be found here. A distinct characteristic of this bird is that it can make loud
sounds when it flaps its wings.
Weta
Weta has been existing for a long time already – in fact,
they have been living since the prehistoric times. They are invertebrates and
their size can vary. They are known for having long bodies, tusks that are
curved, and legs that are spiny. This animal seems to be evolving with time as new
species still are being discovered with the last one discovered just around 30
years ago. At present, there are around 70 species that are known and 16 of
these are endangered.
