About

Te Moutere – Tuatara Island Highlights. Constructed in 2024, Te Moutere – Tuatara Island is a specialist enclosure created just for our tuatara. With one entire side of the enclosure made of glass, you’ll get an amazing view into the world of the tuatara. View the burrows and tunnels the tuatara use for hiding, giving the animals spaces to feel snug and secure. See the natural behaviours of tuatara up close – above ground, the enclosure is designed to encourage the tuatara’s natural behaviours like climbing, basking, and digging and provides the tuatara with an environment that closely resembles their natural habitat. Keep your eye out for Henry, the eldest tuatara in the colony, who is about 135 years old.
