Porpoise or mereswine are small cetaceans of the family Phocoenidae. They are related to whales and dolphins.
Porpoises tend to be smaller but stouter than dolphins. They have small, rounded heads and blunt jaws instead of beaks. Their teeth are spade-shaped, whereas dolphins have conical teeth.
They are up to 2.5 meters or 8.2 ft long and weights 30 to 45 kilos or 66 to 99 pounds. Porpoises eat fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are found most commonly in small groups of fewer than ten individuals.

Save The Whales is very popular organization. Most of us have heard about it. Save The Whales educates people - children and adults -about whales and other animals, that live in water.
This organization has been created in 1977 by Maris Sidenstecker when she was only 14 years old. First, Maris and her mother sold T-shirts, then started to educate people.
Pollution, hunters, explosions and balloons kill water animals. Use environmentally friendly things and don't throw out balloons because they are very destructive to whales and other animals.
If you want to know why balloons are so bad and find out more, check out this page - http://savethewhales.org/
