Help save Hector’s dolphins!
They are grey with areas of black and white,
and are the smallest dolphins in the world.
Adults grow between 1.2 - 1.4m long and weigh up to
50 kg. They are rounder than other dolphins and have
a round, black _in.
Forty years ago, 26,000_30,000 Hector’s
dolphins used to live in the waters of New
Zealand, but today there are only about 7,500. If things
don’t change, this kind of dolphin will soon become
extinct.
• Net _ishing. Fishermen use nets to catch _ish,
but sometimes a dolphin may
swim into a net. If the dolphin can’t
get out, it will die because dolphins
need air to breathe.
• Boat users. If boat users aren’t
careful around these waters,
they can harm or kill a dolphin.
• Water pollution. This can
make Hector’s dolphins ill.
Also, they may eat rubbish,
like plastic bags, and die.
