The number in a pod of dolphins varies, anywhere from just a couple to up to 20 or more.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-of-year-are-dolphins-in-maui\"><\/span>What time of year are dolphins in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the leaping Humpback whales that visit Maui each winter, dolphins are full time Maui residents that can be spotted at any time of year. The most common dolphin encounters on Maui occur when out on a boat, particularly those between Lahaina and Lanai where there&#39;s a large population of spinners.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-type-of-dolphin-is-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What type of dolphin is in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hawaiian name: Nai&#39;a.

Their snouts are also a different shape, with no obvious beak. They are the only <a href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/how-long-is-the-flight-from-hawaii-to-new-zealand\/\" title=\"Flight Time from Hawaii to New Zealand: Tips for Comfort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Zealand<\/a> dolphins with a flat, black dorsal fin that looks like one of Mickey Mouse&#39;s ears. Other dolphins usually have a more pointed fin.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-maui-dolphins-are-left-2022\"><\/span>How many M\u0101ui dolphins are left 2022?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Scientists estimate that just 63 adult M\u0101ui dolphins survive today.

What is this? These dolphins can be found swimming off the west coast of the North Island in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-maui-dolphins-rare\"><\/span>Are M\u0101ui dolphins rare?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>M\u0101ui dolphins are now critically endangered, with only about 60 left, and there&#39;s estimated to be about 15,000 Hector&#39;s dolphins.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-do-maui-dolphins-live\"><\/span>Where do M\u0101ui dolphins live?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>New Zealand&#39;s North Island<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-color-is-the-maui-dolphin\"><\/span>What color is the Maui dolphin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They are light grey and have black and white markings. The animals have a uniquely-shaped dorsal fin along their backs. The fin is rounded instead of being sickle-shaped as in other dolphins. It&#39;s often said to look like one of Micky Mouse&#39;s ears.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-maui-dolphins-are-killed-each-year\"><\/span>How many M\u0101ui dolphins are killed each year?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2019, a government-funded risk assessment model fitted to fisheries observer capture records estimated that less than 0.3 Hector&#39;s or M\u0101ui dolphins die each year in commercial set nets on the West Coast of the North Island, and less than 0.1 die each year in commercial trawls.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-fast-can-a-maui-dolphin-swim\"><\/span>How fast can a Maui dolphin swim?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They have a streamlined body that allows them to swim up to 20 mph. The typical length for an adult bottlenose dolphin can range between 6 to over 12 feet and they can weigh over a 1,000 pounds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-dolphins-aggressive-to-humans\"><\/span>Are dolphins aggressive to humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Despite what dolphinaria may have you believe, dolphins are apex ocean predators, capable of even killing sharks, and should be treated as such. Dolphins can be aggressive to people, other dolphins, or even self-harm. While the majority of dolphins in the U<br \/> are bred in captivity, they are not domesticated animals.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-dolphins-friendly\"><\/span>Are dolphins friendly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dolphins have a reputation for being friendly, but they are actually wild animals who should be treated with caution and respect. Interactions with people change dolphin behavior for the worse. They lose their natural wariness, which makes them easy targets for vandalism and shark attack.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-dolphins-like-humans\"><\/span>Do dolphins like humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In several surprising instances, dolphins have also shown loving emotions towards humans. The most fascinating of these examples is that of Margaret Howe and the bottlenose dolphin Peter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-do-if-a-dolphin-approaches-you\"><\/span>What to do if a dolphin approaches you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although dolphins may seem curious, many of their behaviors are often misinterpreted as \u201cfriendly\u201d when they actually are, in fact, signs of disturbance or aggression. If a dolphin approaches you in the water, do not engage, pursue, or otherwise interact with the dolphin, and take immediate steps to move away.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-a-human-breed-with-a-dolphin\"><\/span>Can a human breed with a dolphin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Probably not. Ethical considerations preclude definitive research on the subject, but it&#39;s safe to say that human DNA has become so different from that of other animals that interbreeding would likely be impossible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"has-a-dolphin-ever-saved-a-human\"><\/span>Has a dolphin ever saved a human?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A friendly dolphin has saved a teenage boy from drowning. Non-swimmer Davide Ceci, 14, was within minutes of death when dolphin Filippo came to his rescue. The friendly 61-stone creature has been a popular tourist attraction off Manfredonia in south-east Italy for two years.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-should-you-not-swim-with-dolphins\"><\/span>Why should you not swim with dolphins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although sea water acts as an effective disinfectant, interaction with wild dolphins may result in disease transfer. These may present serious health threats to dolphins and humans alike. Finally, swimming with dolphins represents harassment \u2013 you do not want to get a fine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-sharks-afraid-of-dolphins\"><\/span>Why are sharks afraid of dolphins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>More than Peas in a Pod. Sharks are solitary predators, whereas dolphins travel in groups called pods. Whenever a member of the group is in danger from a shark, the rest of the pod rushes in to defend their buddy. Dolphins have even been known to protect humans in danger of sharks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-a-dolphin-beat-a-shark-in-a-fight\"><\/span>Can a dolphin beat a shark in a fight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dolphins are one of the ocean&#39;s cutest marine animals. However, they have been known to kill sharks. This behaviour is quite aggressive compared to a frolicking image of dolphins. When a dolphin feels threatened by a shark, it goes into self-defence mode which allows it to overpower the shark.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-do-if-a-shark-bumps-you\"><\/span>What to do if a shark bumps you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>How to help a shark attack victim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dolphins of Maui in the wild are intelligent, curious and playful.
