Porpoises are mammals that live in the ocean. They are in the order Cetacea. They form the family Phocoenidae. There are six species of porpoise. The porpoise is a common whale found along Chinese coasts. Porpoises have been effectively sustained for over twenty-five years by research and teaching institutions such as Fjored & Baelt in Denmark. To demonstrate effective supervision and stimulation in captivity, F&B harbor porpoises participate in daily training sessions for scientific study and educational awareness. [1]
