They’re big, they’re scary, and they’re coming to a sanctuary near YOU!
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- On Sunday 17 February, up to 100 Cook Strait giant weta (Deinacrida rugosa) from Matiu/Somes Island are being released into the wild at Karori Sanctuary. This is the second in a series of four planned releases at the world-first wildlife sanctuary, which hopes to establish mainland New Zealand’s first viable population of the species since they became extinct here over a century ago.
