The Hectors Dolphin

  • Hector's dolphins
  • The basic facts
  • The hector's dolphin is a very small black,grey and white dolphin. It can only grow up to a shocking 1.5 metres long. Which makes them the smallest dolphin in the world. And an astonishing thing about them is the have rounded dorsal fins (mickey mouse fins.)And they can dive forTWO MINUTES! two minutes! (i know right.) And they only live in NZ waters. And are normally found close to shore.
  • Things concerning its survival.
  • The hector's dolphin is a very rare species and often accidentally get into fishermen's nets of passing boats. And being an endangered species this is very bad as they are native. And  they get very scared and often screech for help.
  • How to protect it.
  • When you meet a hector's dolphin you must only aproach politly and carefully so not to scare it. When meeting a Hector's dolphin you must not chase them. And do not let out any nets we wish to keep them alive.
THE END.

    Hi Bluebell, I like how you gave a descriptive explanation of the hector's dolphin, dolphins remind me of a time I went overseas with my family. What other types of dolphins do you know about? I would really like to know more about aquatic life! Kind regards, Samantha.

    hi samantha here are some more dolphin facts Compared to other animals, -dolphins are believed to be very intelligent.
    -Dolphins are carnivores (meat eaters).
    -The Killer Whale (also known as Orca) is actually a type of dolphin.
    -Bottlenose dolphins are the most common and well known type of dolphin.
    -Female dolphins are called cows, males are called bulls and young dolphins are called calves.

    Dolphins live in schools or pods of up to 12 individuals.

    Dolphins often display a playful attitude which makes them popular in -human culture. They can be seen jumping out of the water, riding waves, play fighting and occasionally interacting with humans swimming in the water.

    -Dolphins use a blowhole on top of their heads to breathe
