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).
