Tuatara are ancient reptiles, endemic to New Zealand. Carnivorous creatures which feed on small mammals, birds, insects such as weta, frogs and other reptiles, they are equipped with very sharp teeth which they use to catch their prey. They simply draw close to these smaller creatures, and pounce quickly to catch them. The tuatara grip their prey with their two sets of upper teeth and one set of lower teeth which hold the prey firmly. These strong teeth are also used to break through egg shells to eat the chicks of the seabirds that share the tuatara's habitat.
