** CCS source: "Multiple livestock introductions to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands were made by Cook as gift offerings, sometimes at the request of local chiefs. In New Zealand, on occasion breeding pairs were secreted ashore by Cook (and by Furneaux), and released in remote areas in the hope they might survive the immediate attentions, and appetites, of the local people. Of these animal introductions to New Zealand only pigs, notably the ancestors of the feral “Captain Cookers” are generally considered to be descended from animals released by Cook. "

** From CCS review of the book: Sutherland is at her enthusiastic best in her description of the rather amazing event at Ship Cove, New Zealand, during Cook’s last visit, where, rather like the Biblical Noah, Cook disembarked from Resolution a veritable herd of livestock, though probably not two-by-two. An “Ark” indeed. Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, peacocks, turkeys, geese and ducks, most of which were bound for Tonga, Huahine and Tahiti, were allowed a few days on the land. She writes [begin quote] Animals too large for the men to handle in the small boats were pushed over the side. Men with prods were arranged in the water to create a channel to the beach. The terrified animals were coaxed to swim to the shore… When the saturated animals scrambled to the safety of the beach, men were positioned to herd them into purpose-built enclosures. Some like the cats, dogs and ships’ goats were free to wander amongst the tents.[end quote]"
