Which country is halfway between Great Britain and New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you flew in a direct line from London to Wellington around the globe, on the shortest route, at the halfway point you would be over the Pacific Ocean, but the nearest country would be Japan.

Most flights on the shortest flights between London to New Zealand stop over in Hong Kong.

Can you study in Canada after completing 1 year diploma in new zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pursuing further studies in Canada after completing a 1-year diploma in New Zealand is a viable option. Canada has a welcoming and diverse education system that often recognizes international qualifications. However, the eligibility for admission to a Canadian institution would depend on various factors such as the specific program, the reputation of the institution in New Zealand, and the equivalency of the completed diploma in the Canadian education system. It's crucial to research and contact potential Canadian universities or colleges to understand their admission requirements and assess if any additional qualifications or exams are needed. Additionally, considering immigration and visa regulations is essential, as these may have implications on the transition from New Zealand to Canada for educational purposes. Seeking guidance from educational consultants or contacting the Canadian immigration authorities can provide valuable insights and ensure a smoother transition. Overall, while the prospect of studying in Canada after a New Zealand diploma is promising, thorough research and understanding of the specific academic and immigration requirements are essential for a successful transition.

What is better country for IT courses Australia or New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Choosing between Australia and New Zealand for IT courses depends on your specific needs. Australia offers a broader range of IT programs, stronger industry connections, and more research opportunities. However, New Zealand may appeal if you prefer a tranquil environment and a smaller, tight-knit community. Ultimately, your decision should align with your career goals and lifestyle preferences.

How many babies do new zealand rabbits have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each breeding season, which occurs between June and March of the following year, a kiwi lays one large egg (about six times the size of an egg from another bird of the same size) then, 24 days later, lays another egg. The second egg is beginning to develop as soon as the first is laid. On rare occasions, a kiwi may lay a third egg.

The kiwi can lay only one egg at a time, as the egg is huge - about 15-20% of the kiwi's total body weight.

Are there really big spiders in New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are no snakes in New Zealand and the only venomous animal is the Katipo spider. The only really dangerous creatures are in the sea.

Answ2. But there are a couple of introduced spiders, at least in the south; the Australian Red Back, and the Australian White Tail. Neither are fatal, but the White Tail gives a long-lasting itch.

Where are kiwis found in New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The kiwi is endemic to New Zealand. Its natural habitat is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns, as well as temperate rainforests. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas.

Different species inhabit different areas of New Zealand.

  • the Haast Tokoeka kiwi is found in high sub-alpine tussock grasslands of the South Island
  • the Brown kiwi is found only on the North Island
  • the Southern Tokoeka is found only in the far south of the South Island, as well as Stewart Island
  • the great Spotted kiwi is found in forest areas in the north of the South Island
  • the Rowi, or Okarito Rowi, is rare, and found only around Okarito

Where would you find a takahe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only lace one could find a kakapo now is on certain offshore islands of southern New Zealand. Because of predation by cats, dogs, stoats and rats, and the status of the kakapo as "critically endangered", all remaining kakapo have been moved to protected islands where their progress is carefully monitored. In 2014, they are now found only on Anchor Island, Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) and Little Barrier Island (Hauturu). These islands are essentially made up of thick bushland which is closest to the kakapo native habitat.

Did kiwis originally come from Australia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The kakapo originated in Gondwanaland, and when the great continent split apart, they were confined to the same place where they are found now, which is New Zealand. Kakapo are endemic to New Zealand, meaning they are not found anywhere else in the world.

What is new zealands most native poisounous spider?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The katipo is the native poisonous spider and it belongs to the same family as the Black Widow of the US, and the Red Back of Australia.

We have in Otago, both the Red Back and the White Tail spiders from Australia, and both are poisonous. But if you don't bother them, they'll not bother you.

What New Zealand bird was probably the biggest bird that ever lived?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

pterodactyl-random person

The largest bird in the fossil record may be the extinct elephant birds of Madagascar, which were related to the ostrich. They exceeded 3 m (10 ft) and 500 kg (1,120 lb). The last of the elephant birds became extinct about 300 years ago. Of almost exactly the same proportions as the largest elephant birds was Dromornis stirtoni of Australia, part of a 26,000-year old group called mihirungs of the family Dromornithidae. The tallest bird ever however was the Giant Moa (Dinornis maximus), part of the moa family of New Zealand that went extinct about 200 years ago. This moa stood up to 3.7 m (12 ft) tall[31] when it was erected in an unnatural position, but weighed about half as much as a large elephant bird or mihirung due to its comparatively slender frame. The largest carnivorous bird was Brontornis, an extinct flightless bird from South America which reached a weight of 350 to 400 kg (770 to 880 lb) and a height of about 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in).

The largest bird ever capable of flight was Argentavis magnificens, a now extinct member of the Teratornithidae group, with a wingspan of up to 8.3 m (28 ft), a length of over 3 m (10 ft) and a body weight of 80 kg (175 lb).

How many eggs do takahe lay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tuatara are not lizards, but they do lay eggs. They are lizard-like reptiles which are endemic to New Zealand, but are not classified as lizards. Tuatara lay eggs in shallow burrows; the eggs take from 15-18 months to incubate, and the hatchlings are able to fend for themselves immediately.
