The tuatara is at threat from a number of introduced mammals. Rats are the main threat as they steal the eggs and also eat hatchlings. Cats and dogs will easily kill adult tuataras.

How are humans affecting tuataras?

Humans are affecting tuataras primarily through habitat destruction, introduction of predators such as rats and cats, and climate change.

Conservation efforts are being implemented to mitigate these impacts and ensure the long-term survival of tuataras.
