i wanna squish that melon

Beautiful creatures and sad the dolphin to the porpoise died off

Did it’s fins grow back?

If anyone was wondering, this creature naturally has no dorsal fin rather than the fin being cut off on porpoise.

I was wondering, thanks.

Douglas Adams would be proud

No, having no dorsal fin is perfectly natural for this species.

Hey since no one is addressing it, I just want to let you know that you made me exhale from my blow hole harder than average

This is why they're endangered, Steven!

Unfortunately the Baji - the dolphin Douglas Adams wrote about in "Last Chance To See" - is supposed to be extinct since 2007 (according to Wikipedia)

Freaky. I just finished watching an episode of Extraordinary Attorney Woo last night titled 'Yangtze River Dolphin'. No doubt Attorney Woo would be very pleased to hear this news.

What is the porpoise of having no fins or have they not evolved having them yet?

Did the porpoise figure out how to thrive on human waste? Is this the purpose of the porpoise?

That’s fintastic to hear.

all the fin ones got hunted to extinction

Woo young woo would love this

The Yangtze River dolphin is actually a different species & is sadly (most likely) extinct.

Their dorsal fin was modified into a dorsal ridge that is covered in varying rows of tubercles. These tubercles are used as a sensory organ, as well as to move through the water.

Fuck you. I have no gold to give you
