I found this critter foraging around my back garden. And i thought they were native to New Zealand. perhaps this one escape from a Zoo or someone's luggage.

Should i call AQIS or RSPCA???

Those are socks. It must be a South Island Brown.

My wife regularly almost shoots a Kiwi (me).

 LOL, adopt it as your pet. Take it everywhere and make every frame you shoot featured in it somewhere.

For Gods sake don't go any where near that damn thing! They are deadly poison and vicious to boot. And don't let them spread over the mainland...they are worse than canetoads! Kill it Killa!

Sheepie,

It's on the west coast of the South Island of Un Zud. The Wife and I did a two week motorcycling tour of the South Island in 2002. The photo ops were fantastic. We stole a small rubber pig from a mate and it featured in many of our photos.

Cheers
Dean

If you sneak up to it from behind & give it a real hard kick in the butt you will make an instant moccasin out of it, then all you have to do is find another to get a pair :wink:

Cheers
Ray :P

Killa, top effort freezing the motion there. Must have been hard to capture the moment and have it look like it was motionless! :D
