Tuatara are a unique reptilian species that are native to New Zealand. They have a spiny crest along their back, a third eye on top of their head, and a specialized jaw that allows them to eat hard-shelled prey. They are the only surviving members of the order Rhynchocephalia and are often referred to as a "living fossil" due to their ancient lineage and evolutionary history.
