Tuna hiku roa (2 o 2)

Tuna hiku roa

Noho ai tēnei momo tuna (Anguilla dieffenbachii) ki ngā awa me ngā wai o te tuawhenua. Koinei pea te tuna nui rawa i te ao – neke atu i te 1.75 mita te roa. E 24 koma-mano te taumaha o te tuna nui rawa kua mau. Kāore e kitea noatia tēnei tuna ki kō atu o Aotearoa.
