In New Zealand, tuatara are primarily found on offshore islands, particularly in the northern part of the country, such as the Stephen Island and the islands of the Cook Strait. They thrive in habitats like coastal forests and scrublands, where they seek shelter in burrows during the day. While they were once widespread across the mainland, their population has significantly declined, and conservation efforts have focused on protecting them in predator-free environments.

Youi could say none because New Zealand separated from the Australian landmass after the dinosaurs died out.

These sediments were laid down when New Zealand was part of the Australian landmass. Lloyd Esler
