Lesson 18-2 Porpoises

Porpoises and sharks are natural enemies. It is possible that upon such an occasion

a battle ensued, with the sharks being driven away or killed.

Whether it be bird, fish or beast, the porpoise is intrigued with anything that is

alive. They are constantly after the turtles, who peacefully submit to all sorts of

indignities. One young calf especially enjoyed raising a turtle to the surface with his

snout and then shoving him across the tank like an aquaplane. Almost any day a young

porpoise may be seen trying to turn a 300-pound sea turtle over by sticking his snout

under the edge of his shell and pushing up for dear life.
