Summary: Meet Tuatara, ancient wonder, wildlife treasure-- and survivor! Blinking, she pulls her scaly body into the light. She's as long as a finger, and with the row of spines on her back she looks like a baby dragon. Tuatara are survivors of an ancient era and sometimes referred to as living wonders-- their closest relatives died out during the time of the dinosaurs 60 million years ago!
