Maui Dolphin

Maui Dolphin




The Maui Dolphin is the one of the most endangered species in Aotearoa/ New Zealand.

Common name Maui Dolphin

Scientific Name Cephalorhynchus Hectori Maui


Physical Description

Maui Dolphin grows up 1.2 to 1.5 meters in length and weighs up to 50 kgs. They have half distinct round shaped dorsal fins. They are shiny too.



Habitat Location

They are found only in the shallow coastal waters along western shores of New Zealand's North Island. Also they are always under the water 20 meters deep. They are always far away from land.



Diet

The Maui Dolphins feed on heaps of kind fish such as Red Cod, Ahuru, and Sole. They feed throughout the water column, on both bottom-dwelling fish and free swimming prey.



Reproduction cycle:

Due to the small population of the Maui Dolphin they grow very slow. The Dolphin mature around 7-9 years old and can give birth every 2-4 years old. Maui Dolphins might grow 2% a year.

Current Population Numbers

The scientist estimated that there are 62 left in the world. The Maui dolphin population has gone down from around 1500 in the 1970s.

Do Protest Work?

What do you think of when you imagine protesters? We think of college students equipped with doc martins, forgetting about our great grandmother, who fought for women's rights. Indeed we  have been protesting nz for over 150 years .

What is a Protest:

A protest can be defined as an objection or complaint. There are different ways to protest, People hikoi, Petition, March meet and strike. A protest usually involves a group of people coming together to fight for a cause.

What Cause a Protest:

Protest usually occurs in response to an event. What causes a protest is when people don’t feel as treated well as other people. For example White people in America are treated well while black american are treated wrong and are accused of stuff that they didn't do. 

Do protests actually work?

Protests can work if the government hear what the protesters are saying and make changes so the world can be more peaceful. For example Kate Sheppard, fought for women to vote. She sent out a petition for women’s rights and the government agreed.

In conclusion, people protest about what they want to change. Protests do work and they can make the world a better place to live in.

What's Your Dream Job?

What's your dream job? Well, my dream job is playing rugby league for the roosters. They are just a cool team to play for and have the best players in it. I want to be a rugby league player because we travel around Australia and shoulder charge the opposite team. Are you a rugby league player?.

Firstly, the Rugby league is very helpful because it keeps you healthy and fit. The coach trains you twice a week and some training might be fitness and the other training will be training in the gym, trying to get massive so you can run over people. Training can put some years into your life and research says the training will make you live longer.

Secondly, the Rugby league will be your only job. Rugby league can lead up to a permanent injury and then you will have another job to fall onto. If you go to school and keep learning you will have another successful job to fall onto.

Thirdly, it's very fun and funny. Rugby league makes you have seki time with your friends and sometimes it may up to a fight but at the end of the day you are still friends. You should have go at playing?.

These are the reasons why I want rugby league to be my dream job. Rugby league motivates me to learn and train more and more.
