She also tames some birds and an otter while feeling a close kinship to the animals (the only inhabitants of the island beside herself). One summer, the Aleuts return and Karana takes refuge in the cave. She observes the Aleuts closely and realizes that a girl named Tutok takes care of the domestic duties including getting water from the pool near Karana's cave.

Maui's dolphin Māui's dolphin or popoto ("Cephalorhynchus hectori maui") is the world's rarest and smallest known subspecies of dolphin. Māui's dolphin and Hector's dolphin are the North Island and Sourh Island subspecies of the New Zealand dolphin "Cephalorhynchus hectori." Māui's dolphins are only found off the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. These two subspecies of "Cephalorhynchus hectori" are New Zealand's only endemic cetaceans. Māui's dolphins are generally found close to shore in groups or pods of several dolphins, and are generally seen in water shallower than . However, it is possible that they may also range further offshore.

In the 1960s and 1970s, in particularly the town of Iki, the islanders were notorious for overfishing, but blamed declining catches on the local species of whales and dolphins. In 1977, the local fishermen invited television companies to film the mass slaughter of dolphins. In response, activists heavily condemned the fishermen's acts of killing the dolphins.
