I just study Australian lizards, but I’ve also been to New Zealand, the United States and Vietnam and seen the reptiles and mammals over there.
There are no native mammals in New Zealand and no native snakes, but they do have some skinks. New Zealand is also home to the tuatara, which is a really ancient reptile and is now endangered.
There are some pretty nasty snakes in the United States, including rattlesnakes. They have a different type of venom to snakes in Australia. If you get bitten by a snake in Australia, you need to put on a snake bandage and stay very still until someone comes to help you. If you get bitten by a snake in the United States, they say you have to cut the skin where you were bitten, try to suck and spit the venom out, and then get to hospital straight away.
I saw lots of reptiles in the zoo in Vietnam, but I don’t think there are many left in the wild.
