A group of precious Tuatara have been successfully released to their new home in the Marlborough Sounds 🌿 We were honoured to accompany the Tuatara to the release site via helicopter, and see them off to their wild home. 🚁 Ten of the Tuatara have been cared for by our expert team of Reptile Keepers at Wellington Zoo for the last 12-15 years, until they were mature enough to be safely released to the wild. Go well, little friends ❤️ A huge thank you to our friends at the Department of Conservat
