Scientists observe by using all their senses.
Here are some interesting things you will see at Nga Manu if you look carefully.

This in not a stone!!!!
It is actually a tree root.It helps the tree absorb oxygen which is deficient in the water logged soil of the swamp forest.

This Nikau Palm tree is endemic.
You can tell how old it is by counting the rings which have been made by the shedding of a leaf each year.

You will see lots of  ferns that are epiphytes.
They grow on other plants called host plants.

Can you see the roots of the epiphyte plant?
