Predation is not a threat to Maui dolphins. They are at the top of their food chain, and there are no known predators that specifically target them.
Why:
- They are small and agile, making them difficult prey.
- They live in shallow coastal waters.
- No natural predators are adapted to hunt them.
However, Maui dolphins are highly endangered due to human activities such as bycatch in fishing nets, habitat destruction, and climate change. Human actions, not predators, pose the greatest danger to their survival.
