Four tuataras have settled back into the improved exhibit in time for Conservation Week, where Kiwis are encouraged to explore their backyard and engage with nature.
Kelly Tarlton’s lead aquarist Felix Berghoefer said tuatara have been at the aquarium since 2016.
“They act as ambassadors for their species and help us educate visitors on the way tuatara live in New Zealand, what threats they face in the wild and how we can help support these incredible native animals,” he said.
“Tuatara were once widespread on the mainland of New Zealand. Sadly, introduced predators like rats, stoats, feral cats and possums have made it too dangerous for them now on the mainland, except in predator-free sanctuaries including some islands in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.”
Tuatara are endemic to New Zealand and are the last surviving species of Rhynchocephalia, an order of lizard-like reptiles that traces back to more than 200 million years ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth.
The tuatara at Kelly Tarlton’s are around 7 years old and originate from Takapourewa Island, at the northern end of the South Island.
Kelly Tarlton’s is currently closed to the public due to Alert Level 3 restrictions.
Conservation week will run from August 15 to August 23. People can explore the aquarium online through a virtual tour, accessible from the Kelly Tarlton’s website.

Parnell Business Association general manager Cheryl Adamson said the second lockdown has been “pretty disruptive” for local business.
“But the learnings from the last lockdown have meant we have been able to get into action quite a lot faster,” she said.
“Many businesses are open for takeaway and food collections, and their cafes are also open.”
Trading can continue under Alert Level 3 with certain implementations in place, such as contactless pick up, delivery and cook at home packages.
Korean restaurant Han is offering $5 online order and delivery, and 'make yourself at home kits' for 2 people.
Oh Calcutta, which specialises in Indian delicacies, continues to offer a contact free takeaway and local delivery service.
Cafe Goodness Gracious has a range of goods available on their website, including bagels, coffee, sauces and spreads, that it can deliver to your door.
Divino Bistro, Simon + Lee, Gion, Winona Forever and Mink Cafe are also still trading through contactless methods.
Adamson is calling on locals to check online if their favourite Parnell eateries are still operating in Alert Level 3, and not to presume they aren’t.
