That sounds like good motivation for finding one in the wild, in that case. Let me know if you need a partner!
I wish I could say this was spotted in the wild, but that is almost impossible. I saw this one here: http://www.southlandmuseum.com/tuatara.html
Now this is cool. Tuataras are some of the most interesting animals on the planet, thanks for submitting this spotting!
