What are the only land mammals native to New Zealand?

• Kea

• Sheep

• Bats

• Cows

Answer explanation

Bats or pekapeka are New Zealand's only native land mammals. Long-tailed bats are found in more places than short-tailed bats. But both species are at risk.  They roost and raise their young in tree cavities where rats, stoats, possums and cats prey on them. Research shows beech seed-fuelled rat plagues are a key cause of bat population decline. We can’t move bats to pest-free sites. So, without pest control they are likely to become extinct. In 25 years long-tailed bats have turned from decreasing at 5% to increasing by 4% per year.
