Male specimens of ''K. ochrina'' also always lack the pair ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Between about 1280 and 1350, Polynesians began to settle in the islands and then developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight and record New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the United Kingdom and Māori chiefs ...
