2 kahu huruhuru
Maori feathered cloak.The base of the cloak was made from f;ax fibre (muka) which had been washed, bleached to almost white and softened. The fibres would then be rolled together until a long yarn was formed, which was then woven into the large rectangle, shaped at the shoulders and hips. On to this was fastened the feathers, the most prized ones being those of the huia and kiwi ( especially the rare white albino kiwi). -
3 Kawekaweau
Hoplodactylus delcourti (Delcourt's Gecko)Grew to 30cmKnown only from a single, impressively large, specimen collected in the 18th century, this giant gecko is now sadly believed to be extinct, although it may conceivably have survived in remote areas. If it has, it would easily be the world's largest gecko. -
4 Manu Aute
Also manu tukutukuMaori for kiteKites were flown both for amusement and for more serious purposes. When a war party was about to attack a pa of an enemy, a kite was flown. Only a tohunga or a man of high rank could fly a kite, reciting a karakia when the kite was ascending. The kite's flying pattern would indicate certain omens to the tohunga. -

6 parore
Girella tricuspidata (Blackfish, Mangrove fish, Luderick, Black perch)<PARORE.JPG">Native fish growing to 45cm<GIRELLA tricuspidata.jpg">A parore grazing the fine green algae off the coarser featherweed (Carpophyllum plumosum). In doing so, it prevents the seaweed from being covered all over with algae, which would shade it out. Unable to grow, the featherweed then dies. The parore provides a cleaning service to coastal reefs. Where it is caught in gillnets for baiting crayfish pots, the environment degrades. -
