A Visit To South Pacific

[Rubbeena]

South Pacific may refer to:

In geography:

Australasia, a region of Oceania, including: New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea and neighbouring islands
Oceania, a geographical, often geopolitical, region consisting of numerous lands - mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean and vicinity, usually including: Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia



The South Pacific islands are the most remote in the world. Their extraordinary isolation has created some of the most curious examples of life found anywhere on Earth..



Royal Penguins are only found on MacQuarie Island, which lies about half-way between New Zealand and Antarctica. They remain at sea between March and September.


A male elephant seal rests after mating with a female on Macquarie island. Adult seals fish for squid in Antarctic waters before returning to breed from September to November.


There are nearly two million Royal Penguins but they are deemed at risk because they only have one nesting site - Macquarie island.

The Fiji Crested Iguana lives on Yadua Taba - a volcanic islet in Fiji that is a protected sanctuary. There are less than 8,000 of the creatures on the island



The Sepik river tribe from Papua New Guinea dance and form the shape of a crocodile. Legend has it, that when crocodiles migrated through the Sepik river, they established a human population.



The happy-faced spider (Theridion grallator) is only found on four islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. Its patterns differ enormously from spider to spider.



The coconut-eating robber crabs are the largest arthropods in the world. They use strong pincers to pierce the coconuts. The female crab releases its eggs into the sea who have two months to find new land.



The Australian saltwater crocodiles are strong swimmers and have reached Papua New Guinea and the Solomon islands. They communicate by barks and are thought to display four different calls.
