This week I read news about most dangerous animal in New Zealand at the moment \u2013 dolphin Moko<\/a>, who became too intimidate with people in Gisborne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made me start thinking what was most dangerous creature I met during time I lived in New Zealand. I love New Zealand\u2019s safe nature \u2013 no poison snakes or grizzlies in the woods, there are no deadly animals in New Zealand at all. But there are some not so friendly species and here is mine top 3 :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Kea<\/a> \u2013 mountain parrot. It won\u2019t hurt you (at least I didn\u2019t hear any accidents), but need to be careful and not leave any bags unattended in the mountains. Bird can open your bag and take anything from it. In the above picture you can see kea checks my backpack. Also it is better not allow get too close to your car as it likes to rip rubber parts. It is funny to watch some bus drivers running around the bus and trying to keep keas away from it. You definitely will meet these birds in Southern Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
