Description & Fascinating Facts. The Harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, (a.k.a. Common porpoise), is a small cetacean with a rotund, stocky body that tapers toward the tailstock. This porpoise reaches a maximum length of 1.9m (6ft) and maximum weight of 90kg (198lbs). On average, Harbor porpoises are smaller, and do not exceed 1.5m (5ft) or weigh more than 60kg (132lbs).
Females are much lower in weight and weigh between 1300 to 1500 kilograms which works out to around 3000 pounds. Adult Males weighing around 3000 to 4000 kilograms have also been seen and recorded. Male hippos grow throughout their lives and that is why they can grow to such huge weights.
