I heria mai te toriura (Mustela erminea) i te paunga o te rau tau 1800 ki te kai i te rāpeti me te hea. Koinei tētahi o ngā mahi kino rawa atu a te Pākehā ki runga i ngā kararehe, manu, ngārara, tipu o Aotearoa. Ko te toriura te momo wīhara tini rawa ki tēnei whenua, kapi ana ngā ngahere me ngā whenua pāmu i a ia. He kino tā rātou kai i te hua, te pīpī, tae rawa ki ngā manu. Waimarie katoa kāore he toriura ki Rakiura, e ora ana ngā kiwi ki reira.
