Tohu
Tohu is a juvenile male bottlenose dolphin that made headlines after it dramatically landed in a fishing boat off the coast of New Zealand's North Island. Weighing over 400 kilograms and measuring 3.4 meters, Tohu's unexpected arrival turned a serene fishing trip into chaos for the three men on board. After being safely transported back to the ocean with the help of local conservationists, Tohu was named after the Māori word for 'sign,' symbolizing the remarkable incident and the bond formed during the rescue.
