On a recent ‘bioblitz’ hundreds of children and adults went searching for plants and animals in the Auckland domain. In just 24 hours in the Auckland Domain, they found 1521 different species! Most of these were little animals and plants you don't see much. The picture shows a young scientist holding a container of creatures collected from the goldfish pond.
The Auckland Domain is a modified urban place right in the middle of a big city, so imagine the number of species in a wild place like a national park!
