They may look like lizards, but they're actually the only member of their own ancient order. They have much more primitive physiology than other reptiles, and are of great interest as a possible link between amphibians and reptiles. Tuatara also have three eyes, but the third eye is only visible on hatchlings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595d940b3a0411b7528a1cca/1514505176190-M7RTBJ2FSEMJXV72X7SO/DSC_0753.JPG Blog - All Posts - An Afternoon at Orokonui This NZ robin came up close and investigated our feet, but started when I shifted my weight.
