In a world of high-tech concrete and glass cities, it is easy to forget that we share this planet with innumerable creatures of all shapes, colors, and sizes. A browse through these few pages will serve to remind you just what diversity of life is out there of the feathered, furry, fishy, and four-legged kind.
Bird-watchers could do no better than a visit to New Zealand for some truly exceptional sights. The endangered Kaka and the pesky Kea are two native parrots, while the Variable Oystercatcher is a coastal feeder, prancing about on long pink legs.
