Several finless porpoises were spotted on the morning of 26th February at waters near the bank of the Yangtze River’s upper section close to the Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing.
Among them, a large finless porpoise in shiny black popped its head out of water and played on the water surface just like a surfer, according to a Nanjing resident.
After an interview, the reporters learned that this is finless porpoises’ mating season, suggesting these finless porpoises have selected this river section for reproduction.
The Nanjing resident recounted that several finless porpoises approached a small boat, which was catching fish with fishing nets, and one finless porpoise put its head out of the water, then they raised their heads, stirred the water several times and generated sounds like sheep bleating to express their dissatisfaction with the fishing boat’s disturbance of their normal life.
