@docgovtnz: Microsoft Paint is our canvas, New Zealand species are our muse 🤌 🎨 We asked DOC staff to get naturing a little differently – by drawing their favourite species in Microsoft Paint… in just 2 minutes. These are the results. Can you guess what they are? Bonus points if you can tell us a fact about them 😉 (answers in the comments) #AlwaysBeNaturing #fyp #conservationtok #naturetok #wildlifeconservation

Department of Conservation :

Species in order (but of course you can tell right?): 1) Kōtare/Kingfisher, 2) Kea, 3) Pekapeka/long-tailed bat 4) Pīwakawaka/fantail, 5) Ruru/Morepork, 6) Pīwakawaka/fantail #2, 7) Leaf-veined slug, 8) Powelliphanta/NZ land snail, 9) Pīwakawaka/Fantail #3, 10) Piwauwau/Rock Wren, 11) Pīwakawaka/Fantail #4, 12) Alborn Skink, 13) Takahē, 14) Olive ridley turtle, 15) Whio/blue duck, 16) Lazer kiwi (iykyk)

humanoidcatfromthemoon :

are the worm and the snail kissing?

UlisesGirl :

Me, an American having the following thoughts: oh… a kingfisher? well, none of these look all that familiar. Is that a takahe? Wait, we have a department of conservation? That doesn’t seem right with this administration. Ohhhhhhhh… New Zealand… this makes a lot more sense now.

Greasy :

I need a side by side of what they were trying to draw😭this is hilarious

Ollie :

The pukeko is the only recognizable one to me off the bat. Something something burrowing owl(?) something something kingfisher of some sort… snail…. Bird that shoots lasers with its eyes… man, I wish we had that one in the states 😂
