Maui's Dolphin 
Life cycle
-
Like many other small dolphins, the Maui's dolphins have a slow birth rate, which contributes to why they have such a small population. Females mature at around 7-9 years and can give birth to a single calf every 2-4 years. The mothers and calves often travel around in a small nursery group for a while to stay safer. Mothers feed their young for about 6 months until the calves begin to hunt and eat squid and fish on their own.
What They Eat
Maui's dolphins feed on small fish, squid, and ocean floor-dwelling species such as flatfish and cod. Maui's dolphins spend much of their time making dives to find fish on the sea floor. They also find fish and squid in midwater and at times feed near the surface.
