An infographic from NOAA Fisheries illustrates the physical and behavioral differences between dolphins and porpoises, highlighting distinctions in their faces, teeth, fins, and social tendencies. At first glance, dolphins and porpoises look similar. Taking a closer look, there are some general differences that distinguish these animals. See the common bottlenose dolphin (left) and harbor porpoise (right) pictured above.
