Today, Jennie Upton came and talked to us about Hector Dolphins. They are becoming extinct. There are only 7,000 in the South Island and 111 in the North Island. The ones in the North Island are called Maui dolphins.

They eat white bait and squid. Scientists can tell this because when the Hector Dolphins die they open up their stomachs and they can see ear bones from fish and the beaks of squid – which can’t be digested. They can live up to 20 years. I found out heaps.
