SLJ

Here in New Zealand we have a native dolphin, the Māui Dolphin, that is on the verge
of extinction (disappearing forever). As of this year, there are only 63 Māui dolphins left
and people predict that they will be extinct by 2033. Environmentalists and activists,
including the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), are working hard to save the dolphin because
it is such a special and unique animal. To learn more about the Māui Dolphin, please
follow this link. If you would like to sign a petition from the WWF encouraging the New
Zealand government to take action to save the Maui Dolphin, please follow this link.
Once you have learned more about this unique dolphin, it is time for you to share your
learning with us.

On your blog, post three facts that you learned about the Māui Dolphin. Then, using
your imagination, create three more statements about Māui dolphins that are not true
(i.e. false). Please don’t tell us which of your statements about Māui Dolphins are true
and which are false. It will be the job of the students and staff who read your blog to
figure it out.
Three true facts & three non-true facts.
1.Did you know that the Māui dolphins are the smallest of the world’s 32 dolphin
species. True or false
2. Females grow up to 1.7m long and weigh up to 50 kg.True or false

3.Adult Maui grow between 1.6 meters and 1.8 meters. True or false

 4.Maui dolphins love to eat snapper fish.True or false

5.Females have there baby when they are 7-9 year of age.True or false

6.Dolphins live up to 38 years old-True or false.True or false
Comment down below which are these are true or false. For this activity I had to post
three facts that I have learned about the Māui Dolphin then creating three more
statements about Māui dolphins. It sound really easy to do this activity but it was really
hard when I started it. I got there eventually. I hope you will enjoy my
post.
