Looks like a wonderful life preserving technique. Once I heard him cry for his father I stopped it. As it touched on this, from the article I mentioned... Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled, before speech occurs. There was a parent obviously nearby as they were filming, but difficult to watch just the same. My mother has been a pediatric nurse, all my life...so I am a bit sensitive to this. :) Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

Tuatara feature in a number of indigenous legends, and are held as ariki (God forms). Tuatara are regarded as the messengers of Whiro, the god of death and disaster, and Maori women are forbidden to eat them. Tuatara also indicate tapu (the borders of what is sacred and restricted),beyond which there is mana, meaning there could be serious consequences if that boundary is crossed. Maori women would sometimes tattoo images of lizards, some of which may represent tuatara, near their genitals.
