MARINE VAQUITAS
The famous marine "vaquita" is the smallest and the strangest cetacean, including whales, dolphins... Currently there are just 97 vaquitas in all over the world, so we may say they are in danger of extinction.
So it's confirmed that these animals usually get caught on fisher nets.
They are quite shy creatures,so it's very difficult to see one in the sea. If you have seen one, you are a lucky person!
THEIR BODY
Vaquitas have a grey body with a belly grey or white pale, it depends. They have a dark spot around one of their eyes. They hardly ever can be seen in nature.
FOOD:
Related to food, they eat sea fishes such as weak fishes and squids.
HABITAT
And related to their habitat they live in an area very restricted compared to another marine cetacean.

They only live in the north of the Californian gulf, and in Mexico. In not too deep water, at the most 30 metres of depth, so tehy don't migrate anywhere far, so they convert into an endemic specie of that mexican area.
The goberment announced that place as a biosphere caution in 1993, so that they could protect marine vaquitas.
