Critters of Aotearoa

50 Bizarre but loveable members of our wildlife community.

Slimy, stinky, creepy, crawly and gross... but also a little bit cute!

Discover New Zealand's most curious creatures - from Smeagol the gravel maggot, to the walking worm and the drooping blobfish - with Nicola Toki from the hit Radio New Zealand show 'Critter of the Week' as your guide. 

Featuring 50 illustrated profiles of Aotearoa's weird and wonderful critters, and an introduction by Jesse Mulligan, this book proves that sometimes nature's best stories are the ones you have to work a little harder to uncover.
