    • It’s Tuatara February at Zealandia. To celebrate, five juvenile tuatara will be released into the sanctuary this evening when they are returned from Victoria University of Wellington’s captive incubation programme. “In the wild, eggs hatch after 12 – 15 months and hatchlings will often emerge when the next season’s eggs are being laid,” explained Zealandia Conservation Manager, Raewyn Empson.
