Ancient Reptiles That Outlived the Dinosaurs

Tuatara are fascinating creatures; they have a third eye, unique teeth and predate the dinosaurs by 20 million years. They can live for over 100 years and have the incredible ability to slow their metabolism, allowing them to survive up to a year without food. These unique traits helped the Tuatara withstand catastrophic events that wiped out the dinosaurs. Modern Dinosaurs #tuatara #dinosaurs #reptiles
