A recent photograph of a minke whale surfacing in Palliser Bay near Wellington to inspect a fishing boat. There are two colour forms of this species in New Zealand waters; the one pictured is the rarer, lighter coloured form. Japanese whalers will kill at least 400 minke whales in Antarctic waters in 1989/1990 for "scientific purposes." Photo: David Woods
