What type of whale live in nz?

Answer 1

Most baleen whales (whales without teeth), are migratory, and usually spend the summer months near one of the two poles, feeding on fish or krill, depending on the species. During the winter, they usually leave the polar regions and head for warmer water near the Equator. There is no food for most whales to eat there; instead whales spend that time either finding mates or raising a calf, using only their stored fat for energy. In New Zealand, you might be able to find Bryde's whales and Pygmy Bryde's whales, Fin whales (one of the largest animals on Earth), Humpback whales, Pygmy Right whales (although there have only been 20 recorded sightings since 1998), Sei whales, and the Southern Right whale. The other group of whales are the toothed whales, and many of them wouldn't be considered real whales (IE, dolphins, porpoises, etc).
