p>New Zealand has turned the concept of a wildlife ?Big Five? upside down by developing its own ?Small Five? list to encourage travellers to see the destination?s wildlife. The concept focuses on promoting awareness and conservation of the nation?s iconic Kiwi, Hector?s dophin, yellow-eyed penguin, tuatara and kea.
The tourist board has launched a dedicated online feature to give visitors detailed information on where to see the animals and other wildlife unique to the destination.
