Jurassic Jive - Tuatara Lizard - Nature's Time Traveler!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the prehistoric world with MAB-497, the ultimate survivor! This incredible print captures the captivating charm of New Zealand's very own tuatara lizard. Hailing from Rainbow Springs in North Island, this ancient relic known as Sphenodon has defied time itself. Imagine a creature that outlived dinosaurs and still roams our planet today! With limited numbers found on remote New Zealand islands, these reptilian wonders have thrived where predators dare not tread. But here's the twist – their sex is determined by temperature! As global warming threatens our environment, concerns arise about an imbalance in tuatara genders. Will we witness a male-dominated society? Only time will tell if Mother Nature throws us a curveball or keeps things balanced. Mark Boulton's remarkable photography transports you to an era long gone yet miraculously preserved within these scaly beings. Their longevity and resilience make them true ambassadors of survival. So let your imagination run wild as you gaze upon this living fossil frozen in time. Let MAB-497 take you on a journey through history, reminding us all that even amidst modern chaos, remnants of ancient worlds can still be found right at our doorstep. Caution: Viewing may induce uncontrollable urges to explore Jurassic Park fantasies or embark on epic quests for hidden dinosaur eggs (disclaimer: please refrain from attempting either).
