Biology
New Zealand has many special areas of unique plants and animals that have evolved without the predators of other land masses. Only creatures that could fly, swim or float reached the new land uplifted from the ocean. Affected by violent ice ages and climatic changes the successful life forms have mutated to their own unique species during the short 75 million year life span of New Zealand . By observing the fascinating nature of life and its complex interactions to survive and propagate, many enthralled guests seek more knowledge and build careers around the subject .
