Tuatara might look like your average lizard, but these ancient reptiles are anything but ordinary. Native to New Zealand, tuatara are often called "living fossils" because they have remained virtually unchanged for over 200 million years. Unlike other reptiles, tuatara possess a unique third eye on top of their heads, which is visible only in juveniles. This "parietal eye" helps regulate their circadian rhythms. Tuatara also have a remarkably slow metabolism, allowing them to live over 100 years. They thrive in cooler temperatures, unlike most reptiles, and their teeth are fused to their jawbones, which means they can't regrow them. Tuatara are truly one-of-a-kind creatures with fascinating traits that set them apart from other reptiles.
