New Zealand's only native mammals are two species of bats. Hard to find.
Otherwise, cats and dogs, neither of which is native to this land.
There was a bottlenose dolphin that became famous in New Zealand in the summer of 1955-56 for its willingness to interact with humans at a beach called Opononi in the far north of the North Island. The dolphin was named Opo and was celebrated in a song called 'Opo the Friendly Dolphin'.
