I have always wanted to visit New Zealand…
Not only for it’s picturesque landscapes, mountains, green valleys, and fantastic ocean views, but why else?…
For it’s amazing fauna!
As you know, I love animals, and where else would I go in New Zealand, but where the cool animals are!
I go where the animals live…That’s what I want to see most when I travel.
New Zealand has so many unique animals that are native to this country and found nowhere else on the planet…similar to how Australia has their unique species found no other place either.
Well, NZ is the seabird capital of the world, first of all and boasts two native flightless birds. One of them is the only flightless parrot, the kakapo, which is critically endangered. The other is the kiwi, which just happens to have nostrils at the end of it’s beak.
The only native land mammals in New Zealand are bats: the long-tailed bat and the short-tailed bat.
What else? Well, the tuatara is a lizard only found in New Zealand…How cool is that?
I’d love to visit Christchurch, Stewart Island (the most Southern part of NZ), the Southern Alps and Abel Tasman National Park of the Southern Island, Auckland, Tauranga, Aoraki/Mount Cook, and as many tiny surrounding islands as I could to see the amazing wildlife!
I would want to do a little bit of snorkeling and diving, of course!
What a world of adventure!
It would be an awesome thing to have the ability to be a full-time travel blogger and bring you fantastic posts about the world’s wildlife from all over the planet!
