We're back in New Zealand for Episode 12 of Life On The Brink!!

And this time, it's all for the tuatara! Some call it a "living fossil", others say they have a mystical third eye, but what we do know is there are a lot less of them than there used to be. In the episode, we run the tuatara rumours past our guest PhD Candidate Sarah Lamar and ask her why she researched the speed of their sperm in the name of conservation!
