It’s a species left over from a group of reptiles as old as dinosaurs. It is the closest thing to a living dinosaur. Tuataras live only in New Zealand and are in danger of becoming extinct.

Female crocodiles are very good mothers. They guard the nest and even help the hatchlings get a start in life. Some snakes do this, too. But most reptiles lay their eggs and leave.
