| Introdescription | The Finless Porpoise (''Neophocaena phocae … The Finless Porpoise (''Neophocaena phocaenoides'') is one of six porpoise species. The Finless Porpoise lives in the coastal waters of Asia, especially around Korea, India, China, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Japan. Throughout their range, the porpoises stay in shallow waters (up to 50 m), close to the shore, in waters with soft or sandy seabeds. In exceptional cases they have been encountered as far as 160 kilometres off-shore in the East China and Yellow Seas, albeit still in shallow water. Like other porpoises, their behaviour tends to be not as energetic and showy as that of dolphins. They do not ride bow waves, and in some areas appear to be shy of boats.
