Last Chance To Save The World's Rarest Marine Mammal From Extinction
Vaquitas ( Spanish for baby cow ) are on the brink of extinction and people are so much to keep them alive for as long as possible.
Vaquitas are also called Pandas because of the black circle around their eyes and seem to be very sensitive and fragile. According to researches, fewer than 30 remain in the wild.
Their diet consists of ocean fish such as Gulf croacker, bronze-stripe grunts, and at times even squid.
Of course they face many threats out in the wild but their biggest threat are the fishing gear they get caught in. They're known to die in gillnets used for sharks.
A plan is being proposed to save these innocent creatures and Mexico, the United States as well as China are going to take pride in rebuilding the almost extinct species.

This is a really interesting article. I do worry about the species only having 30 individuals, that seems like far too little to repopulate the species.
I hope it is not too late.
You post very interesting articles, I have given you a follow.
never heard that kind of dolphin neither seeing it from any encyclopedia...
thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. It opens awareness about it.
We pray that it won't be extinct too soon.
I never heard about this before.
Thanks for the knowledge and taking this initiative.
It's such a beautiful creature.
This is really a mind blowing article. The article teaches us to protect the environment against extinction. We have to protect them. Thank you for sharing with us your article. This is a mind opener to everybody. Thanks
Wow, I've just learnt something new. Thanks for sharing @Joseph

Wow! I never knew something called Vaquitas existed, not to mention going to extinction. Makes me wonder, there's a whole lot I don't know about.
