Oscar’s BioBlitz

May 26, 2016 Posted by Kiwi Conservation Club

Eight year old KCC member Oscar  tells us about his close up encounters with some pretty unique wildlife.

I went to BioBlitz at Pukaha Mount Bruce.

I found the biggest peripatus that the Department of Conservation’s threatened species ambassador (Nic Toki) had ever seen. It squirted her!!!

A few weeks later I went to Granny and Grandpa’s, we went on a big walk together in a forest full of trees.

When we got back to Granny and Grandpa’s house we got to see someone who owns geckos named Mike Kean.

I got to hold a green one.  It was cute but not soft.  Their skin was rough.

Then after a few weeks we found out David Attenborough my favorite documentary maker is turning 90.  And that’s now!  I love David Attenborough because he is just like me.  He loves nature (including hippos).
