Two threatened skink species are thriving at Auckland Zoo.

The cobble and Kapitia species were rescued by the Department of Conservation before separate cyclones hit their homes in the wild.

Zoo staff have managed to grow the cobble skinks' population from 36 to 55 animals.

They have been caring for a quarter of the entire population of Kapitia or Chesterfield skinks to guard against their extinction, zoo staff say.

From 50 animals collected, 11 Chesterfield lizards have been born this year.

Auckland Zoo is working with the Department of Conservation to plan the next stage of the recovery for both species.

Ectotherm keeper Sarah weighs and measures the skinks to check on their growth.

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?
