The two living species of tuatara are very strange reptiles from New Zealand. They resemble lizards, but are actually very primitive animals. They even have a third eye (although is very small and it is covered by scales, which makes it useless)! Because of the predation by introduced mammals, they could only be found in off-shore islands until some re-introduction projects took place.

The tuatara is not a lizard-it is from a group of reptiles that lived at th same time as the dinosaurs-a living fossil.

Did Anyone say it was a lizard? And not group its actually family.


I missed that part about not actually being a lizard. As for saying Group instead o family-that was just a mistake.

I apologise-sorry I will try to remember to read posts better in future.
