I was lucky enough to see a small pod of these swimming near some penguins in Jackson's Bay, on the South Island. Got a few pictures of dorsal fins, too. It looked like they were trying to surf some of the wave sets, but more likely were somehow using the wave action to catch fish.
If you go down there to check them out during the summer months... be sure to slather yourself with insect repellent.
don't say I didn't warn ya!

they are so cute! why they have to die that way?
why don't they give a try to move the dolphins to a protection place, like a zoo to reproduce?
