The Great Tuatara Airlift

From Afternoons, 2:06 pm on 9 October 2012

Next week 260 of the reptiles will take to the air. They're being flown from Stephens Islands in the Marlborough Sounds to nature and wildlife reserves around the country. It's the largest ever single transfer of the reptiles to the mainland, and as such it will be conducted with a bit of ceremony.
