Sixty five million years ago, a meteor hit the earth near Mexico killing nearly all life on the planet. Out of the ashes, one hardy reptile managed to survive in New Zealand: the tuatara. With a third eye and no ears, tuatara are some of the most bizarre reptiles on the planet. Yet today, they are on the verge of dying out. How did the tuatara survive when most dinosaurs were driven to extinction?
