1
: any of a family (Phocoenidae) of small gregarious toothed whales
especially : a blunt-snouted usually dark gray whale (Phocoena phocoena) of the North Atlantic and North Pacific that typically ranges from 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters) in length

: dolphin sense 1a(1) —not used technically
Note: While not closely related, porpoises and dolphins share a physical resemblance that often leads to misidentification.

porpoised; porpoising; porpoises
