Harbor Porpoise

Some interesting facts about Dolphins including the Harbor Porpoise which isn't so very different from other dolphins.

First Fact about dolphins and the Harbor Porpoise

Question:-How intelligent are dolphins? Answer: The short answer to this is that we do not know. There is no reliable method to measure intelligence in humans across cultures, so it is not surprising that comparing humans, dolphins, apes, dogs, etc. is impossible. There are some indications of their potential: they are fast learners and can generalize (which is also true of pigs, BTW). Also they can learn to understand complicated language-like commands (which is also true of the great apes).

Another Fact about dolphins and the Harbor Porpoise

Question:-Do dolphins have hair? Answer: Dolphins are born with a small amount of hair on their beak (nose), but in when they become adults, only the hair follicles remain.

Another interesting snippet about dolphins and the Harbor Porpoise
