Anatomy: The Spectacled Porpoise (like all porpoises) has spade-shaped teeth and a small, rounded head. It has distinctive black and white coloring, especially around the eyes. These cetaceans are about 4.25 to 7.25 ft (1.3-2.2 m) long; they weigh about 130 to 185 pounds (60-84 kg). Newborn calves are about 28 to 32 inches (70-80 cm) long.
