What if tuatara never lived long?
Tuatara are slow breeders, so if they did not have a long lifespan, they would have been unable to survive the arrival of European settlers, or possibly even the arrival of the Maori hundreds of years earlier. Polynesian rats and European rats were both introduced to the islands of New Zealand, and these creatures have devastated tuatara populations on the mainland. Rats steal the tuatara eggs from burrows, and eat the hatchlings. Adult females tuatara only lay eggs every three to four years, so with their eggs being eaten, the tuatara populations have struggled to be maintained.
