Description
New Zealand is home to not a single mammal but the bat! Incredible, yet, while it is only home to one mammal, there have been many new mammalian visitors in recent times which have caused much chaos for the country's residents.
‘Native New Zealand’ explores the fauna through the naked eye, as well as the microscope, as we dive deeper into how their lives have been demolished, but are being built back up, brick by brick by a few fantastic people around the country.
Follow me, Kevin Thiele, as I teach you about the Tuatara, Kiwi, and Kaka, while interviewing some top specialists in the field about the brutal state of their populations and how they are slowly, but steadily recovering them.

Kevin explores the life of the ‘living fossil’, the Tuatara, while interviewing the ‘head of native’ at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve to gain insight into the recovery of Tuatara populations. Not a lizard, nor a dinosaur, what is it?
Kevin explores the national bird of New Zealand, the Kiwi, while interviewing a ‘kiwi keeper’ at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve to gain insight into the successful recovery of many Kiwi species and deeper into the Rowi, which is still struggling to climb back up. The Kiwi, not much bigger than a football, yet in the family of the largest birds in the world.
Kevin explores one of the friendliest birds of New Zealand, the Kaka, while interviewing once more, the ‘head of native’ at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve to gain insight into the recovery of Kaka populations, which can be clearly heard.
