Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.
At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.
You can read more about the sailback shark here
We hope this brings a smile!
This has been in my family from new; it was purchased in the 1930s. Still in very good condition and has a lovely tone but it does need tuning. Happy to include stool if you'd like it.
Height 1.12m, length 1.35m, depth .55m. Collect from Masterton.
Some of the Wairarapa Model Aircraft Club will be flying INDOORS this Wednesday the 17th. from 7pm until around 9pm at the Masterton Memorial Stadium. Entrance round the back between New World and the Stadium.
Come and have a look at some nice little RC planes flying.

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...

So many native fauna and flora make New Zealand special - show us a picture of your backyard native species in the comments below 💚 Perhaps we can inspire others to find the beauty in our local species.
