Researchers from the University of Melbourne, even proposed the creation of artificial nests animal source of the shadows to save them from extinction. Paul Gutter – or tuatar – depends on the temperature at which develop in their eggs embryos. If the temperature in the nest below or equal to 22.1 degrees Celsius, the reptiles are hatched females. Keeping the eggs at temperatures above 22.25 degrees Celsius, will lead to the birth of exclusively male. According to the predictions made on the basis of models of climate change, by 2085 the Earth, on average, be four degrees warmer. This will be enough to nest in two Gutter preserved to date of hatching only males. In the past, tuatara have been exposed to climate change, but now their numbers are small, and the habitat is limited to a few islands of New Zealand.
