The Dunedin area is known for its spectacular variety of wildlife, and home to the largest university in New Zealand, with the student body making up almost 20% of the population. We did several tours there, seeing spotted shags, an up-close seal colony, the royal albatross, and one of the rarest specie of penguins, the yellow-eyed penguin. Also visited the tropical forest in the Otago Museum for butterflies, geckos, turtles, etc.
