Hector's dolphins are tiny little dolphins, at the very most about five feet long, averaging about 4 feet long. They live around New Zealand, and are quite endangered. One thing you can see that is different about them from other dolphins is that they are the only dolphins that have dorsal fins that are curved at the tip; the fins are almost like semicircles.

It is good to know there are so many diffeent types of dolphins. It is also good you mnetion where they are found. Would you know why they have the names they do - like why is this little dolphin called Hector's Dolphin?
