My name is Krysten.
Holy crap, I'm already 20!
The sun and I have a lovely relationship.
I was a fish in another life and an ectotherm in the current one. I'm friendly, outgoing, athletic and adventurous. Feel free to step into my shoes and see all the ridiculous things I do on a day-to-day basis!
Looking for Paradise
Made in 1992, but I'm a limited edition! :D
Tuatara
- Survived in New Zealand for over 100 million years;lived among the dinosaurs
- live in well defended burrows
- only on 37 off-shore islands and mainland islands like the Karori Sanctuary
- Total tuatara population on all these islands is estimated to be between 50,000 and 100,000
- Only once every two to five years will the female be ready to mate
- can live to be over 100 years old;grow very slowly
- not actually a lizard
- If global warming continues all Tuatara eggs will be males and the entire beautiful species will go extinct
I do not own these images
