Description 1 online resource (65 minutes) Summary Isolated from the rest of the world for 80 million years, life on the islands of New Zealand has taken its own bizarre path. This series reveals the country's rich and intriguing wildlife stories, from the bustling communities of penguins hiding away in giant daisy forests to the kakapo -- Earth's only species of flightless nocturnal parrots. New Zealand was also the last place to be discovered and settled by people who brought with them new animals, like merino sheep and new predators like the stoat. Finally, Wild New Zealand meets the pioneering conservation heroes who are fighting to save some of its most endangered species. The most extreme and wild parts of New Zealand are in the South Island, which lie towards Antarctica, in the path of the tempestuous 'roaring forties'. This is home to some of the most rapidly rising mountains in the world, the Southern Alps. From hyper-intelligent parrots to sinister snails with teeth and magical constellations of glow-worms, this is the story of New Zealand's wildest places and its most resilient pioneers, all of whom must embrace radical solutions to survive Notes Title from resource description page (viewed January 28, 2019) Includes extra "New Zealand chronicles" Performer Narrated by Sam Neill Notes In English Subject Ecology -- New Zealand -- South Island Zoology -- New Zealand -- South Island Animal diversity -- New Zealand Animal diversity.
