Porpoises are tiny for a cetacean and secretive, don't jump and are not easy to spot in the sea. All you see is a blunt triangle. Would never be confused with a plesiosaur
- dandotway 5y agoWikipedia says, Porpoises range in size from the vaquita, at 1.4 metres (4 feet 7 inches) in length and 54 kilograms (119 pounds) in weight, to the Dall's porpoise, at 2.3 m (7 ft 7 in) and 220 kg (490 lb). Doesn't say what is most common, though, so if 30-70 kg is more common, I'll take your word for it.
