We don't have elephants, hippos or rhino No crocs, alligators, or squirrels that I know,The Tasmanian Devil we don't see hereThe long necked Giraffe is nowhere near.No wolves, no bears, no Lions tooExcept of course the ones in the zoo.You won't see tigers, or kangaroo,You'll never step in a wombats poo. We don't see snakes for which I am gladNo buffalo either but I'm not sad.I'm happy with the things we have.
Our unique critters tend to be birds - Kiwi, Kakapo, Weka, Kea, and long ago the Moa.Of course there is our tuatara (lizard) and our Weta (insect)
