Dozens of tuatara to be released at Brook Waimārama Sanctuary in Nelson

"Operations manager Nick Robson said 56 tuatara will find a new home inside a 3.7 hectare mouse-free enclosure within the sanctuary.
...
"It is very hard to keep mice out, they can get through a 7mm gap so it had to be a very well constructed fence to make sure that wouldn't happen but it's been free of mice since February so we are confident the tuatara will be safe in there.""
