How can we save the wild animals?
A mysterious fish, in a remote waterway, sawm into history and helped answer this question. Meet Pelorus Jack, the New Zealand dolphin who won the hearts of travelers and inspired a national to protect him with legislation in 1904.
Pelorus Jack lived near French Pass, a notorious waterway in the South Island of New Zealand. With gorgeous, lifelike illustrations, this story transports readers to New Zealand's rugged shores where Pelorus Jack befriends sailors and locals in his role as guardian of the steam ships. As his fame grew, though, so did the danter from collectors, hunters, and adventurers. How could people protect this amazing dolphin?
