TUATARA FACTS The tuatara is native to New Zealand It is the sole survivor of the beak-heads which is a group of very ancient reptiles The tuatara is the most ancient of all living reptiles. It is even older than the dinosaurs It has survived for almost 200 million years Tuatara can live up to 100 years The male is much bigger than the female Young tuatara have a third eye. It is on top of the brain between it's other eyes. It becomes covered over when the tuatara is an adult Babies The female lays 8 - 15 eggs in a shallow hole in the ground. The eggs are not cared for in any way by the parents. It takes 12 - 15 months for the young to hatch. The female may only lay eggs every 3 - 4 years Food Tuataras are carnivores. They eat weta , moths and beetles. Sometimes they eat small lizards and even the eggs and chicks of petrels. At the zoo we feed them baby mice, huhu grubs , worms, meal worms and insects. They are fed twice a month. Where are they? Tuataras were once found all over New Zealand but now they only survive on offshore islands because of the rodents, wild cats and pigs that were introduced to the mainland.

Geography Career Opportunities Contacts As far as possible the emphasis is on doing Geography. Practical sessions associated with most courses consolidate theories learned in lectures and extend the application of techniques. Instrumentation for monitoring the environment and laboratory analysis of earth and organic materials are part of the programme. In addition, computer applications form an important component of the practical approach. Definition of a Major in Geography: at least 6 points from the following: GEOG 101, 102, 201, 202 plus GEOG 204 Geography can be effectively combined with a wide range of other subjects, in either a BA or BSc degree programme. As part of a BA degree it complements subjects such as Economics, Political Studies, Psychology and Sociology; in addition, it may be combined with language study in order to focus upon a specific culture or country. Within a BSc degree the field and laboratory research components complement Biological Sciences, Environmental Science, and Marine Science, Geology and Physics; while the geographic information systems and spatial analysis components complement Computer Science and Statistics. Geography is an excellent complement to Law or Commerce when taken as part of a Conjoint degree programme: either a BA/LLB, BSc/LLB, BA/BCom or BSc/BCom. Students who have completed conjoint degrees including Geography have found that their understanding of human and environmental systems is valuable to careers such as environmental law, planning and marketing.
