In Invercargill we visit the interesting museum.
We see the very interesting tuatara. A weird animal about half ammeter long, dating from 350 million years ago, older than the dinosaurs! Somehow it is not extinct, a few animals live still on a island in front of the north coast. It can be very active until 6 degrees and the heartbeat can be as slow as one per minute. The look a little like a lizard but are total different. They can become very old, this one is 120 years, and probably will live for a long time
