Our crew was super stoked to see some endangered newborn Pahu just before new year in west Te Waewae. Three calves were spotted in what appeared to be a nursery group in Port Craig with one adult bringing a newborn over to our vessel.
Pahu and Maui calves have distinct fetal fold marks (vertical light grey stripes) on their sides which are visible for about six months.
