I love Tuataras for their aesthetic appeal, and their fascinating biology and ecology. Their fur is so dense and thick you will never touchanything like it!

Tuataras are small rodents native to the Andes Mountains of South America, particularly in the countries of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. They have a soft, dense fur that is highly valued for its use in clothing, particularly in the fur trade.
Tuataras are known for their agility and jumping ability, as well as their long, bushy tails. They are social animals and are often kept as pets due to their friendly and curious personalities.
In the wild, Tuataras are herbivores and eat a diet of grasses, seeds, and vegetation. They have also been known to practice coprophagy, which is the eating of their own feces as a means of obtaining nutrients that were not absorbed during digestion. Tuataras have a lifespan of around 10-15 years and can weigh up to one pound.
