Moko (2006 – 7 July 2010) was a male bottlenose dolphin who associated with humans on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand from 2007 to 2010.

[6] Scientists were worried about Moko's welfare after a study found he had been scarred by boats and a fish hook.

[8] A local man who found the whales told his neighbour, Malcolm Smith, who was a Department of Conservation worker.

During the winter (July) of 2009, a New Zealand swimmer, who left late to go swimming at Mahia on her own, started to play with Moko.

They noted that out of 30 "lone" dolphins that have been identified around the globe, 14 have been killed or injured as a result of their interactions with humans.
