I am certain I have a photo of this exact location on my hard-drive at home but from a different angle.
The tuatara is a reptile endemic to New Zealand which, though it resembles most lizards, is actually part of a distinct lineage, order Sphenodontia. The two species of tuatara are the only surviving members of its order, which flourished around 200 million years ago.

Right Turn At Albuquerque of the Day: A juvenile Emperor Penguin — native to Antarctica — somehow managed to find itself on the shores of New Zealand’s North Island.
“An emperor penguin has taken a wrong turn from the Antarctic and ended up on a beach in New Zealand.
It is believed to be the first sighting in the wild in New Zealand for more than 40 years, and it’s possibly the first time someone has seen an emperor penguin on the country’s North Island.”
The wayward penguin was spotted by Christine Wilson, who was walking along Peka Peka beach with her dog. “I was [thinking] ‘Am I imagining this?,” Wilson told ABC Radio National Breakfast.
New Zealand conservationists who observed “Happy Face,” as Wilson named the penguin, say it appears healthy, but will need to head south soon to survive.
