Marine biologist visitor

Today we had a visit from Helen McConnell who is a marine biologist. She shared lots of fascinating facts about NZ Marine animals with us.

Here is a picture of  the Hectors Dolphins.They are the smallest dolphins species.They have a round dorsal fin,that we describe it as Micky mouses ear!Hectors dolphins are black and light gray.Maui dolphins are very rare.They are a type of Hectors dolphin.

Helen told us to never approach a sea lion or seal because they can attack people.Helen told us that we can find what they eat by examining their vomit and poop! Yucky!!!!
