5/6 🚨 Coastal access is critical for porpoises to meet their energy needs,but it puts them in conflict with human activities like fishing—raising risks of bycatch.Protecting these habitats is essential for their survival.🌊🛡️ #Conservation #MarineEcosystems @Biology_SDU @NATsdu

4/6 🔍 These findings offer unprecedented insights into the foraging behaviour of a marine mammal that’s notoriously hard to observe. Harbour porpoises are true survivalists, balancing flexibility and energy efficiency. #WildlifeResearch #OceanLife @WileyEcolEvol

3/6🤿 From hunting single fish to coordinated group attacks on schools, porpoises adapt their strategies based on context. Their ability to forage individually or in groups suggests social learning and information sharing play key roles. #Cognition #SocialLearning #MarineBiology

2/6 🌊Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) have massive energy demands, feeding on fish,squid, & shrimp.But how do they hunt?Using UAVs, researchers captured foraging in 60% of daylight videos—revealing them as masters of adaptability!🐟📹 #AnimalBehaviour #UAVScience #Porpoises

1/6 🐬✨ New research sheds light on the secretive lives of harbour porpoises! These opportunistic predators display remarkable flexibility in their foraging behaviours, adapting to diverse prey and social contexts in Danish coastal waters.

3/3 💡 Harbour porpoises have a unique strategy: their calves are independent early on, but maternal care is brief compared to other cetaceans. High fecundity and short lactation periods keep these supermoms on the move. 🐬 A mother’s love, efficient and fleeting!.

2/3 🌀 **Drone insights reveal**: .1️⃣ Calves work harder than moms to stay close. 2️⃣ Moms often *break away* to forage or travel. 3️⃣ Newborns transition from “echelon” to “infant” position by 2 months. 4️⃣ Despite early independence, calves stick around for 10–11 months.

1/3 🎥 **Short-term Mother–Calf Bonds in Harbour Porpoises** 🎥 . 🌊 *Ever wondered how baby porpoises grow up so fast?* .
