Tuataras, native to New Zealand, seek shelter primarily in burrows, which they often share with seabirds or create themselves. These burrows provide protection from predators and harsh environmental conditions. They may also use rock crevices and dense vegetation to find refuge. Additionally, tuataras are primarily nocturnal, which helps them avoid daytime predators.
