The Harbor Porpoise is NOT endangered.Though many people think it is, the harbor porpoise is threatened in some places. However, it is not endangered.The harbor porpoise is threatened mainly by all catch. This means that when fishermen go out and catch herring, for example, sometimes the net will ally envelop a porpoise. The porpoise then dies of suffocation, for it cannot go back up to the water to breath air through it's air hole.Another reason, as almost always, as hunting on purpose. There have been regulations made on the of porpoises, but only in some places. Fortunately, in 1998, catching porpoises was made illegal in Peru, which at that time was the Porpoise catching place.The last one is water pollution. Pollution from plastic bottle companies and oil factories continues to kill porpoises worldwide.
Porpoises have been known to live 8-10 years although there are some that lived to be 20 years.

Whales -- not porpoises or dolphins -- are generally considered carnivores and predators. Some species prey on organisms as small as microscopic plankton, whereas other species, such as the sperm whale, prey on large fish and other large sea creatures. Note that orcas (killer whales) and pilot whales are not really whales but are more closely related to dolphins and porpoises.
