The Life Cycle Of A Tuatara!

Have you ever wondered about the life cycle of a Tuatara, egg to its full grown life well today your gonna find out!

The Egg Stage.

Tuatara eggs get buried in soil. They lay about ten-nineteen eggs at a time they stay in the soil for up to twelve-fifteen months. The Tuatara grows in the egg for time it is in the egg and they are soft and leathery                                                 (the eggs). The weather depends on which it is a male or female it will be a male if it is cold and a female if it is warm.

The Hatchling Stage

Secondly the Hatchlings come out of the eggs and are left to defend themselves. They also have three eyes the Hatchlings are twelve to fifteen centimetres long.

The Juvenile Stage

For the first fifteen years they are called Juveniles. Juveniles can not have babies. They avoid adult Tuataras cause they are cannibals and that's why they hunt in the day. They grow scales over their third eye because they don't ́t need it anymore and are about forty five- sixty centimetres.

The Tuatara Stage

Adult Tuataras sleep during the day and hunt during the night because they are nocturnal animals. They bask in the sun to get body temperature. They hibernate through the Winter to avoid the cold temperature and not much food like Bears. They have babies every three to four years. The food they eat are Beatles, Crickets, Spiders, frogs, Lizards, Centipedes, eggs, birds and members of its own species.
