Question: Whale watching in New Zealand is predominantly centered around the areas of Kaikoura and the Hauraki Gulf, the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park (just outside Auckland city) is also a significant whale watching area with a resident population including which toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member?
Context: The melon-headed whale or melon-headed dolphin (species "Peponocephala electra"; other names are many-toothed blackfish, "melon whale" and electra dolphin) is a cetacean of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae).  Theorized in the 1970s, it is closely related to the pygmy killer whale and pilot whale, and collectively these dolphin species are known by the common name blackfish.  It is also related to the false killer whale.  The melon-headed whale is widespread throughout the world's tropical waters, although not often seen by humans because it prefers deep water. Motutapu Island (or simply "Motutapu") is a 1509 ha island in the Hauraki Gulf to the northeast of the city of Auckland, New Zealand.  The island is part of the Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park. Auckland City is the part of Auckland urban area covering the isthmus and most of the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.  The core of Auckland City is the Auckland CBD, a major financial and commercial centre, surrounded by many suburbs.  It was formerly the name of a local authority district that was governed by Auckland City Council; it lay within the wider Auckland Region, which was governed by Auckland Regional Council.  Auckland City was disestablished as a local government district on 1 November 2010, when Auckland City Council was amalgamated with other councils of the Auckland Region into the new Auckland Council. The killer whale or orca ("Orcinus orca") is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member.  Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey.  Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and dolphins.  They have been known to attack baleen whale calves, and even adult whales.  Killer whales are apex predators, as there is no animal that preys on them.  Killer whales are considered a cosmopolitan species, and can be found in each of the world's oceans in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. The Coromandel Peninsula on the North Island of New Zealand extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east.  It is 40 kilometres wide at its broadest point.  Almost the entire population lies on the narrow coastal strips fronting the Hauraki Gulf and the Bay of Plenty.  In fine weather the peninsula is clearly visible from Auckland, the country's biggest city, which lies on the far shore of the Hauraki Gulf, 55 kilometres to the west.  The peninsula is part of the local government areas of Thames-Coromandel District and the Waikato Region. The Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana is a coastal feature of the North Island of New Zealand.  It has an area of 4000 km², and lies between, in anticlockwise order, the Auckland Region, the Hauraki Plains, the Coromandel Peninsula, and Great Barrier Island.  Most of the gulf is part of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. Auckland City Council was the local government authority for Auckland City, New Zealand, from 1871 to 1 November 2010, when it was amalgamated into the Auckland Council.  It was an elected body representing the 404,658 residents (2006 census) of the city, which included some of the Hauraki Gulf islands, such as Waiheke Island and Great Barrier Island.  It was chaired by the Mayor of Auckland City. Whale watching in New Zealand is predominantly centered around the areas of Kaikoura and the Hauraki Gulf.  Known as the 'whale capital', Kaikoura is a world-famous whale watching site, in particular for sperm whales which is currently the most abundant of large whales in New Zealand waters.  The Hauraki Gulf Marine Park (just outside Auckland city) is also a significant whale watching area with a resident population of Bryde's Whales commonly viewed alongside other cetaceans Common Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins and Orca.  Whale watching is also offered in other locations, often as eco-tours and in conjunction with dolphin watching.  Land-based whale watching from New Zealand's last whaling station, which closed in 1964, is undertaken for scientific purposes, mostly by ex-whalers.  Some compilations of sighting footages are available on YouTube. Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand.  The 5.5 km wide island is an iconic and widely visible landmark of Auckland with its distinctive symmetrical shield volcano cone rising 260 metres (850 ft) high over the Hauraki Gulf.  Rangitoto is the most recent and the largest (2311 hectares) of the approximately 50 volcanoes of the Auckland volcanic field.  It is separated from the mainland of Auckland's North Shore by the Rangitoto Channel.  Since World War II it has been linked by a causeway to the much older, non-volcanic Motutapu Island. Kaikoura Island (formerly known as Selwyn Island) lies in an irregularly-shaped bay on the western side of Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand, 90 km north east of Auckland.  Kaikoura Island is the seventh largest island in the Hauraki Gulf.  It is 80 metres from Great Barrier Island at its closest point and forms the natural harbours of Port FitzRoy and Port Abercrombie.  Its biota includes the endangered brown teal duck, the North Island kaka and many native trees and shrubs.
