Hey, my 4YO is obsessed with this video, and we have watched it every night for about 2 weeks every night so far, big props, thanks for the powelliphanta vid 👏 🙌
Frequently handling and moving these. They come out on the road at night, and in the morning on my way to work I pick them up off the road and put them back in the bush otherwise they are flattened by traffic during the day. I do get weird looks from people wondering why i have stopped my car in the middle of nowhere.
Oh cool a video in my neck of the woods, and checking out my favourite genus at that! Awesome. Huge Powelliphanta fan, love getting up there photographing them. Tempting me to do my own video on them now haha, I know quite a lot of spots with various species like patrickensis and the different lignaria subspecies If you're ever going snailing in the area and need some tips feel free to hit me up
Haha, robins are so fun and friendly. Some cool stuff you guys got to see at night, especially the snail and that harvestman. Good peripatus conditions too, have you seen one? Sadly the rats and hedgehogs like to munch the snails. If you like the limestone formations, you should check out the Waitomo area if you guys are ever in the North Island.
The robins were super friendly there! One was eating sandflies off my friends leg 😄 I was thinking about peripatus too while we were looking, didn’t see any there but I have seen them on one of my night tours at Zealandia before! Yes I think we saw a few snail shells with rat damage, but I was really happy to not see any introduced mammals during our time there, makes me hopeful for the future ☺️ oooh great suggestion I haven’t been there before but it’s definitely on my list now! Thanks so much for watching 🥳
Imagine keeping these snails as pets legally, just think how cool it would be! I own a couple of giant african land snails and i have no problem with them.
Been feeling low recently stumbled across this on reddit and it brought up my mood alot Also I use to live in NZ so seeing the nature broughr back some good memories :)

@@outdoorswithsum Haha not from NZ but wish it was my homeland =) just use to live there but yeah nice vid
And we’d be lucky to have you! Hope you get to come back and visit again sometime 😌
It's a shame you weren't able to take a boat to Karamea, cause then you could've been sailing to snailing.
omg yes

You drove past a lot more snails than you probably seen
