• Stressed-out porpoises have been know to get stomach ulcers.
• The skin of a live porpoise feels like a hard-boiled egg without the shell.
• A mother porpoise burps her baby by tapping its underside repeatedly with her nose.
• If you see a porpoise swimming slowly in a circle, you can be pretty sure it's taking a nap. That's what porpoises do when they sleep.
