Description
New Zealand dolphins, also known as Hector's dolphins, are fascinating and beautiful animals. Found only in New Zealand waters, their numbers are now under constant threat-especially from human fishing activities. This book introduces the dolphin to readers of all ages. The authors have devoted the last 30 years-more than a dolphin lifespan-to intensive study of the dolphin's distribution, behavior, biology, reproduction and communication, using photography as their principal research tool. They have identified over 100 individuals and recorded their life events. Several of these dolphins feature inside.
