Animals in New Zealand and Japan
The New Zealand fur seal: it’s called Kekeno in Maori. It has a pointy nose, long whisker and visible external ears. You can see them when you walk beach.
Long-tailed bat and short- tailed bat: They are called Pekapeka in Maori. They are only their own mammals of New Zealand. Now they are protected at some secession, for example, Stewart Island, Great Barrier and Kapiti Island.
Sheep: There are so many sheep in New Zealand. There are 45 million sheep. The herd of sheep is on the road, so you have a lot of chances to see them. In addition, there are shows of sheep.
Japanese wild boar: Japanese wild boar range from Honshu to the Kyushu district. They have sharp tusk, and male tusk is especially long. However it takes about a year to be able to recognize female tusks. The foods are short, but they can run fast.
Shika deer: They usually live in a group at mountain district. They range Japan, China, and the Korean Peninsula. In Japan, we usually know they are in Nara Park, Itsukushima shrine. Only male have horns.
Raccoon Dog: They are nocturnal and live alone or pair. If they have paired, they can’t break off until one of them die. The color of body is gray-brown and black around eyes and foods. They range Japan and some other Asia.
