Wildest New Zealand

The islands of New Zealand are home to an entirely unique menagerie of creatures. It is a place where the normal rules don’t apply – the birds can’t fly, a small, ancient lizard is a top predator, parrots play in snowy mountain meadows and penguins roam the streets. Seals battle on the beaches, albatrosses soar on the air currents and a monster movie plays out in miniature among the dense undergrowth of this lush, vital land.

Kingdom Of The Tide

KINGDOM OF THE TIDE welcomes you to the intertidal zone- part land, part sea- a place where change is the only constant. Here, some of the hardiest and most bizarre organisms on the planet have adapted to survive a daily cataclysmic cycle that few creatures can withstand. The result is a specialized and critical habitat whose importance reaches far beyond its borders. Yet this extraordinary world between worlds is surprisingly fragile. Altering the delicate balance of water and temperature could be enough to disrupt and even destroy life in the intertidal zone and affect the health of the ecosystems it supports.
