Today I am gonna tell 3 things I learnt about Maui Dolphins.
Fact 1 - Māui Dolphins are the most rarest and smallest know subspecies of the New Zealand dolphin Cephalorhynchus hectori.
Fact 2 - Māui's dolphins are only found off the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.
Fact 3 - This subspecies of dolphin can grow to lengths of around 4 – 6 feet and generally weigh around 95 – 115 pounds when fully matured.
Kia Ora Leon,
ReplyDeleteIt’s Dani here again. You have done an awesome job finding out some facts about Maui Dolphins. Before the Summer Learning Journey I had no idea that the Maui Dolphins were the smallest AND rarest dolphins in the world. Did you know that Maui Dolphins only breed once every few years and because the population is so small, the population can only increase by one dolphin a year, if that! Do you know of any other types of dolphins that live in New Zealand waters.
Blog ya later!
