Of mammals, New Zealand has only two species, both small bats.

Otherwise, there are many species of birds, such as kiwi, penguin, tui, albatross, and so on. And all the smaller animals such as worms, Spiders and insects must be included. And a special place must be reserved for the Tuatara, and other lizards and skinks.
