Tuatara
The Age of the Reptiles flourished from 250 to 70 million years ago. An ancestor of the beak-head
reptiles, prominent during that ancient period, is today known as the tuatara. The tuatara looks like
a lizard, with a large head, crested spine and olive green scales covering the powerful body. Reaching
lengths over 2 ft the tuatara seems tiny in comparison with the 6 ft long beak-heads which became
extinct after the Jurassic period. MORE!
