Tuatara

The Tuatara is an unusual reptile that lives on islands off the coast of New Zealand. This nocturnal (most active at night) animal sleeps in a burrow during the day and hunts at night. Although it looks like a lizard, it is not a lizard. The Tuatara has a life span of well over 60 years; it does not reach maturity until it is 20 years old.
