| [00:08.42] | young bulls must leave their family groups in the tropics |
| [00:11.69] | and go in search of richer pickings. |
| [00:14.51] | And so they head for the temperate seas of the higher latitudes. |
| [00:19.48] | Crossing thousands of miles of ocean, |
| [00:22.82] | many voyage to one of the greatest feeding grounds |
| [00:26.36] | in the South Pacific - New Zealand. |
| [00:30.28] | Its two main islands span almost 1,000 miles, |
| [00:34.27] | and journeying south, |

| [00:57.14] | that produces the abundance of life found in these cold waters. |
