Ranger catches tuatara and takahē ‘having a scrap’
A takahē and a tuatara have been filmed engaging in a bush-floor stoush in a video captured by a DOC ranger. The video was filmed on pest-free Tiritiri Matangi Island near Auckland. It started with the takahē seemingly attacking the tuatara, DOC ranger Nick Fisentzidis said. “I saw them having a bit of a nip at each other; the takahē definitely had a go at the tail of the tuatara, and they had a bit of a scrap.
