What do porpoise dolphins eat?

The term "porpoise dolphin" is a bit misleading. Porpoises are not dolphins. While they are both toothed whales, they belong to different families with distinct characteristics.

Porpoises generally eat small fish, squid, and crustaceans. Their diet varies depending on the species and their location. Here are some examples:

* Harbor porpoises: Their diet consists mainly of fish like herring, cod, and mackerel, as well as squid and crustaceans.

* Dall's porpoise: They primarily feed on squid and fish, with some variations depending on the region.

* Black porpoise: They are known to feed on squid, fish, and occasionally crustaceans.

Dolphins, on the other hand, have a broader diet that can include larger fish, sharks, rays, and even other marine mammals.

It's important to distinguish between porpoises and dolphins to understand their feeding habits.
