Interestingly, tuataras are not lizards. They followed a separate and distinct evolutionary path to lizards.
They are absolutely unique: there are no other reptiles like ‘em.
I have had the great privilege to hold a tuatara once, at a wildlife sanctuary. It was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had.
Very interesting, thanks! Things that look like lizards but aren’t ... I think I saw that in a 70’s sci-fi show :-).
