Orca search continues

Reporter Community News

The search for a baby orca’s pod enters its fourth day, and volunteers and professionals continue to work around the clock to look after the stranded calf.
The juvenile orca became stranded near Plimmerton, north of Wellington, on Sunday, and since then he has captured the nation’s hearts, with hundreds heading out in the biting wind to catch a glimpse of the aptly-named Toa (brave).
If anyone spots an orca pod, they are asked to take note of location and direction of travel, to take pictures, and to call 0800 DOC HOT. If possible, people are asked to stay with the pod, while keeping a safe distance.

Fireworks

Liam from Tawa

People keep fireworks because they are only legally available for purchase during a 4-day period each year, leading to stockpiling.
