Cool fact, that’s a lot of teeth. Do you know about how large their teeth are?

I do not know exactly how large the teeth are at the moment, but I should be able to enlighten you in a day or so. In the meantime, I do know that porpoises differentiate from dolphins in that they have spade-shaped teeth, unlike the dolphins’ conical ones, and the Vaquita is no exception.

Vaquita have teeth the same size as any other porpoise, about 1 cm.
