  1. sphenodon punctatum

    Sphenodon punctatum, commonly known as the tuatara, is a reptile species endemic to New Zealand. It is the only surviving member of the order Rhynchocephalia, which existed around 200 million years ago. Tuataras resemble lizards but are part of a distinct lineage. They are reptiles known for their slow growth, longevity — living up to 100 years or more — and unusual characteristics like a third "eye" on the top of their head. They primarily feed on arthropods but can also consume birds and small mammals.
