Hector's World™ is set in the beautiful waters of Aotearoa New Zealand. Those visiting our site may be interested in learning more about the wonderful wildlife in this country where Hector Protector and his friends live. For more information about New Zealand's native animals, please visit the Department of Conservation website or The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society.
Hector Protector is a bottlenose dolphin, and you can tell he is a bottlenose because: he has a pointed dorsal fin, he has no obvious body patterns (being grey with a white belly), and he has a long beak or 'nose'. Bottlenose dolphins are plentiful in New Zealand waters and there are other interesting dolphin species.
Hector's dolphin also has a close cousin that is even rarer - Maui's dolphin is a subspecies of Hector's. There are only around 100 left making them the world's smallest and rarest marine dolphin. To learn more about this special little dolphin, visit NZ's Department of Conservation website (www.doc.govt.nz) or WWF-New Zealand website (ww.wwf.org.nz).
