Farm animals and some more exotic

Off of the Kaikoura peninsula lives one of the world's largest dusky dolphin communities.
Almost any time of year one can hire a boat to see 600 upward to 1500 wild dolphins in their natural habitat.
On the North Island in Rotorua there is a tourist attraction called Agrodome. Its main feature is a sheep show during which you get an explanation of NZ's primary 19 breeds and sheering demonstration. The fellas behind me here are not stuffed.
Here's the black sheep of the Agrodome clan.
A working farm, the Agrodome has a small petting zoo.
Fancy rooster!
NZ's South Island has a several types of exotic birds: kiwi, little blue penguins, yellow-eyed penguins, the giant albatross. Unfortunately, most of them are nocturnal or endangered and therefore difficult to capture on film. Here is a yellow-eyed penguin we spotted late on day in Dunedin.
