Tens of thousands of these whales were hunted in the 19th century, and by the 20th, they had all but vanished from mainland New Zealand. For almost four decades, between 1928 and 1963, not a single tohorā was recorded in New Zealand waters.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue: 166 November December 2020.
