A quick way to find out more about Hector’s dolphins is to do an internet search but remember to think critically about which websites you use. For example, the Department of Conservation website is probably more reliable than Wikipedia.
If you search on specific dolphin measurements e.g. rostrum width at mid length you will probably find examples of students work on the NZQA website. Remember you need to produce your own work!

EPIC is a venture between New Zealand libraries and the Ministry of Education, giving schools free access to a worldwide range of electronic resources.
EPIC lets you access up-to-date full text articles covering a huge range of subjects. You need a username and password to search it, just ask your teacher or the library staff.
Another place to you might want to look is at the references at the end of the research paper you have been given http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03014223.2002.9517717. A lot of these references won’t be available online so ask a librarian if you need help.
