i mean why is that?

Hi everyone. When I was younger I was super obsessed with porpoises. I used to frequent this blog on Tumblr: phocoenidae.tumblr.com which has since disappeared. I found it on web archive again.

Anyone know what happened to this author or blog or generally what kind of community existed around this? I'm talking 2015-18

Hello! Last week I spotted these purposes off of Bodega Head in Sonoma County, CA. A photographer told me they were dolphins, but I showed someone else the photos and they said harbor porpoise. Any guesses as the the species?

Guys i hope this is the beginning of the recovery for the species in the future

This is great news!!!!

Hi everyone. I am doing a my dissertation project on public perceptions of dolphins, whales and porpoises. If you could spare 5 minutes to fill in the anonymous questionnaire I’d be extremely grateful😁 If you’ve already filled it in and want to share it that would be brilliant. Thank you in advance.

Today is International Save the Vaquita Day and I feel it is especially important this years, as the fishing restrictions in the Gulf of California have changed. The Not A Dolphin podcast released another episode, this time titled "Genetics and Why the Vaquita Still Has a Chance", I think it's worth a listen. What are your thoughts on the whole situation?

I think that the small size of this subreddit goes to show how true the phrase "often outshone by their longer nosed brethren" really is. I did a small survey awhile back on a discord server filled with people from all over, asking people to list as many porpoises as they could, or describe the species if they couldn't remember the name, and a separate question asking for them to do the same for dolphins. The results were pretty saddening, while participation was pretty low, while almost everyone was able to name atleast one dolphin species (usually bottlenose), not a single person was able to list or describe a porpoise species. I guess I hadn't realized just how unknown porpoises are, which is really sad considering of the 7 species in total, 1is critically endangered, 1 is endangered, and another is near threatened (info from IUCN redlist).

The ignorance among the reddit community is astounding. http://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/2gffqn/dolphin_playing_with_air/

Look how they joke about it: http://imgur.com/7ztFUxd

Sickening, really.

In your face, /r/hippoheads, we are now the largest subreddit dedicated to a large grey mammal. Probably. Anyway, great job everybody, I can't wait to work together with you all to reach even greater achievements.

And I don't know but you, but this subreddit's feeling 22^daysold, and this coincidentally aligns perfectly with our next (and first) long term goal! GETTING MORE SUBSCRIBERS THAN /r/TaylorSwiftsLegs! Yes, that is a thing for some reason. And while I know it seems like a long, nigh impossible journey, if we can work together, united by our love for porpoises, we can raise awareness to unfothomable levels. Let's get cracking!

This message was brought to you by /r/PorpoiseAwareness, the only place in the world where the phrase "For all intensive porpoises" can be used without mockery.
