Visitors To Room 1 last week

Last week as part of our reading, one group of studetnts were looking at the effects of mustelids being brought into New Zealand to keep control of rabbits.  Stoats, weasels and ferrets liked this country so much that they stopped hunting the rabbits they were brought out  here for, to devour our kiwi, their eggs, weta, native frogs and other small lizards.  The result of that was that they are now the pest and we have now to find ways to get rid of the mustelids.    The visitors, from left to right are: the weasel, ferret, partly obscured and the stoat.  They came from DoC for a few days.  Luckily, they are stuffed and will not kill any more kiwi.
