Native New Zealand animals and plants.
New Zealand only has a couple of native mammals and they are bats, so I don't think you'll find many mammals in this theme... |

Pohutukawa Trees of NZ (17 photos) 2450 views :: Janice Dunn (Janice)
(18832) [Group Theme] |
Metrosideros excelsa / Pohutukawa trees are coastal trees that grow in New Zealand. They thrive near the sea, easily withstand strong winds, salt spray and drought and are rarely found inland. The tree hardly ever grows straight and is more likely to have many short trunks with tortuous branches. Usually found growing on cliffs with the branches sometimes reaching in the water (occasionally even found with oysters growing on the branches) and the great roots spread along the cliff-face above. |

Ferns occur in great abundance in New Zealand – there are nearly 200 native species alone occurring everywhere from the coast through to the country’s alpine regions. Then there are the fern allies – including club-mosses and fork-ferns that have an even longer fossil history than ferns. |
