Incredible Journeys: Unveiling New Zealand’s Animal Odysseys

Many of New Zealand’s animals embark on incredible journeys as part of their everyday lives. In this captivating book, author and illustrator Ned Barraud uncovers the mystery behind where many of our native animals go.

• Toroa/albatross can spend years at sea in the windswept Southern Ocean, only returning to land to breed.
• Koura/crayfish often undertake long walks along the seabed for hundreds of kilometres—the reason remains a mystery.
• Tuna/longfin eels leave our lakes and rivers to journey into the Pacific Ocean, where they produce eggs for a new generation before they die.
• Tawaki/Fiordland crested penguins leave our southern coastline to travel up to 7000 kilometres in search of food.

These are just some of the fascinating stories of travel and migration found in ‘Incredible Journeys’, an awe-inspiring book for any child interested in New Zealand’s wildlife.
