spectacled porpoise

The spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) is a species of toothed whale belonging to the porpoise family (Phocoenidae). It is distinguished from dolphins by its more compact build, smaller size (up to about 2 meters or 6.6 feet), and a blunt snout with spatulate teeth. The spectacled porpoise gets its name from the distinctive patchlike pigmentation around its eyes. This mammal is found in the southern Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. It is primarily a fish eater and typically travels in pairs or small groups along coastlines. The spectacled porpoise is sometimes referred to as a skunk porpoise or spectacled dolphin, though it is a porpoise.123
