The Harbour Porpoise

Ben Garrod and Jess French get under the skin of the enigmatic harbour porpoise, the smallest and shyest of marine mammals.

Prof Ben Garrod and Dr Jess French get under the skin of the harbour porpoise to unravel this enigmatic and shy aquatic mammal鈥檚 extraordinary survival skills - from it鈥檚 ability to dive for long periods to accurately echolocating its fast moving prey. They join Rob Deaville, project leader for the Cetacean鈥檚 Stranding Investigations Programme at ZSL (Zoological Society of London) to open up and examine what makes this animal unique in terms of its anatomy, behaviour and evolutionary history.
