EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Tuatara (Sphenodon Punctatus) in all its glory. The side view of this unique creature against a pristine white background creates a striking contrast, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. Karl Shone's studio shot showcases the beauty and complexity of this living fossil. With its high angle view, we are given an intimate look at the tuatara's features, revealing its reptilian nature and ancient lineage. As one of the few surviving species from the Rhynochocephalia order, native to New Zealand, it holds immense significance in herpetology and wildlife conservation. The vibrant color image brings out the subtle hues that adorn this remarkable animal. Its scaly skin and distinct facial structure highlight its place within chordata and sauropsida classifications. This solitary tuatara stands alone as a testament to evolution's marvels. In this photograph by Karl Shone from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported into the world of amniotes and Sphenodontia. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, remnants of prehistoric times can still be found among us
