The Hector's dolphin is one of the rarest species of dolphin in the world. They live in the coastal waters of new zealand, and might you be wondering why they are name the Hector's dolphin? Well it's because the man who first examined them was called hector! Hector first examined them in 1869,he was a New Zealand zooligist and his full name was Sir James Hector.

Just some little facts about these dolphins:

• Hector's dolphins are 'small, stocky and a lovable dolphin species' and unfortunately they are one of the most endangered dolphin species in the world.
• There are 49 dolphin species in total! Yes, 49 species just for one animal (and that is including these ones)
• A reason for the Hector's Dolphins being so well known is because of their stocky, compact bodies (yes I know, i have already mentioned that) and their unusual grey, black, and white coloring.

What I think about these dolphins:

• I love them, and something very sad is that people hunt them and lots of people want them because they are very rare
• The best thing about them - for me - is there stripes, and it's nice to see a dolphin with stripes that isn't a KILLER WHALE
