Māui dolphins (SLJ)

Hi everyone welcome back,

Do you know anything about Māui Dolphins?

If not your lucky because I will be telling you three facts about them from this website for Summer Learning Journey. The first fact is that

  • Māui dolphin have distinctive grey, white and black markings and a short snout.
  • Māui dolphin are the smallest of the world’s 32 dolphin species.
  • Females grow to 1.7 m long and weigh up to 50 kg. Males are slightly smaller and lighter.
Now I will be telling you three more facts but it may be false or true find out for yourself.
  • They only live up to 20 years. This is a short lifespan compared to other dolphins and whales.
  • Māui and Hector’s dolphins look very different to each other 
  • They live up to 60 years this is a long lifespan.
If you are not able to find out here is the website I got it from

Here is a picture of a Māui Dolphin

    Good morning Talisa,

    You have mentioned some important facts about the visual features of Māui Dolphins. I never knew that they are the smallest of the world’s 32 dolphin species. How cute!

    I also enjoyed trying to figure out whether the facts you've given are true or false. I will give you my answers in order: True, True and FALSE! Let me know if I got all the answers correct. It was interesting to find out that Māui and Hector's are the only dolphins with a rounded dorsal fin; they should be quite easy to spot if we ever come across one!

    Have you ever seen a dolphin in real life? Dolphins usually swim and move around in pods (small herd or school of marine animals) and their journey is always unpredictable. I heard that there are lots of dolphins spotted in the Bay of Islands which is located at the top of north island. Would you like to visit this place to spot a dolphin? :)

    Talk to you soon,
    Susie

    Good afternoon Susie,

    Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog. The real pattern to the false or truth facts are actually true false false I think. I have never seen a real life dolphin only in pictures of them on google. But I wish I could see one in real life.I would like to visit Bay of Island to see a dolphin in real life if I could.

    Goodbye
