Kea, Hamilton’s Frog, And Yellow-Eyed Penguins: Animals In New Zealand Which Immigrants Can Meet In The Country

People may think that the animal kingdom has a small population. However, that is not the case really. There are still a lot of animals that are not popular around the world like how popular elephants and dogs and bears and wolves are. It is important to understand that there are some animals that are native to some countries only and can be found there. That is why immigrants are quite astonished to find a good number of animals in New Zealand that they have not yet seen or heard of ever before.

 

There are a number of animals that can only be found in New Zealand and the list includes the kea, Hamilton’s frog, and yellow-eyed penguins. These are native to the country and can be found in the wild. Immigrants who wish to see one in person can actually do so in the country and be amazed by them. Some of them are endangered and it would be definitely great to see one in any case that it does get wiped off the planet (though it is really best if they are able to survive and not get wiped out).

 

But what are these animals? Read on and learn about them.

 

Kea

 

This is actually a bird – an alpine parrot – and the only one of its kind in the entire world. In the wild, they are most commonly living in Arthur’s Pass National Park in New Zealand. They are usually spotted on the road going to Milford Sound via the Fiordland National Park. They also are seen in alpine environments that can be found in South Island. They are cheeky animals and immigrants actually are quite amazed by them. It is said that these birds can actually damage a car should they come in flocks and get all to work together.

 

Hamilton’s frog

 

This animal is one of the endangered species that can be found in New Zealand. It is believed that there should be around 300 of them still around and most of them are on Stephens Island, which can be found on the Cook Strait. The country’s Department of Conservation try their best to care for these animals and monitor them regularly. It is interesting as well that the Hamilton’s frog does not croak like other frogs in the world.

 

Yellow-eyed penguins

 

When one ventures to the southeastern part of New Zealand, he or she can have the chance to see yellow-eyed penguins as they usually flock there. They can also be seen in Stewart Island and in Banks Peninsula. Yellow-eyed penguins belong to the six species of penguins that can be found in the country and the islands that surround it. This animal is amazing and quite great to look at especially when they are in the wild.
