Wildlife in Christchurch

No, we’re not talking about Kenn and Lynda! We went to the Willowbank Reserve late this afternoon (it was a beautifully, sunny, warm day). Willowbank is sort of like a zoo (but not), and sort of like a nature preserve. It has animals that are native to NZ and others that are transplants to NZ. It’s very natural: lots of trees, ponds, “rivers”…You walk through the different exhibits (well, most of them). They even had eels in the river and now Kenn will have nightmares! Click this link to see some of the animals and a) guess what they are (specific names, if possible) and b) which native animal you are NOT seeing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27117889@N08/?saved=1
