In April 2012, in order to increase their numbers, up to 100 Mahoenui giant weta were introduced into the Maungatautari ecological area.
A dead gecko was also found in Maungatautari in March 2010, probably indicating that it is not extinct from mainland New Zealand.
In December 2004, eleven endangered Hochstetter's frogs were found living on Maungatautari in a rocky region.
