The Tuatara, famed as the world’s slowest moving creature, will be exhibited in the New Zealand pavilion at Wembley. It can stay motionless for up to two weeks and even has remnants of a third eye. When threatened by rats, the smaller may leap onto the larger, drawing the rat close before the Tuatara jaws it and rests, leaving extinction as the rat’s fate.
