Spin a globe slowly to find New Zealand. It’s one of the world’s most isolated island countries. Australia, the nearest significant land mass, is over a thousand miles away. Composed of two big islands stretching almost 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from north to south, and a galaxy of smaller islands, New Zealand is believed to be a fragment of the ancient southern continent of Gondwanaland.

Ants Rule!
If all ants suddenly disappeared from the planet, life as we know it would collapse. In their book Journey to the Ants, naturalist E.O. Wilson and his colleague Bert Hölldobler analyzed the enormous influence these creatures have on ecosystems. Ants promote plant life, serve as predators and scavengers, and, in turn, serve as food for birds, dragonflies, and spiders. But they also can destroy crops and be serious pests.
