Hiku o te parāoa (sperm whale)

Kei ngā wai e kotahi kiromita ki waho o Kaikōura i te tai raki-mā-rāwhiti o Te Wai Pounamu tētahi whāruarua ka taka e 1,000 mita ki te takere o te moana. Ka muia ēnei wai e te mahi a te ika pērā i te parāoa me te wheke nui (giant squid). I ngā wā ki mua i patupatua ngā parāoa o Kaikōura; heoi, i ēnei rā kei te manaakitia rātou. Waihoki, kua whanake tētahi ahumahi tūruhi, he mātakitaki parāoa te mahi. He ahurei te hiku o tēnā, o tēnā parāoa, e taea ai te tohu ko tēhea, tēhea. He pane kuini tēnei mai tētahi kohinga o te tau 2004.
