The number of Maui's dolphins has fallen.
It's now estimated there are between 43 and 47 in the waters off New Zealand.
Research from NABU International shows that the world’s smallest and rarest dolphin has only 10 to 12 mature females left, and could be extinct by 2029.
It was previously thought there were around 55 Maui's dolphins.
