noooo its a finless porpoise, belugas are much larger with a bulbous melon (bulging part of their head) and a pure white coloration :), unless their younger.

whackjob89, They are called Finless because it doesn't have a dorsal fin (the one on the top like a bottle nosed porpoise.)

I love how sometimes it's head presses against the glass and his snout flattens.

Proof that the japanese DO love Whales and Dolphins...I hate when people bash a whole nation for whats going on with the slaughter over there. This was cute! Thanks for sharing this with us!

This is a web for baiji. The baiji is now Functionally extincts as a result of man's destruction of their natural habitat and resources. In fact, finless porpoise are now facing a similar problem as baiji.
I think this web may help you!!
Also, there are many papers about finless porpoise which i think you may find it in library or on web.
