Fourth Critically Endangered Vaquita Found Dead This Year Brings it Dangerously Close To Extinction

[n2doc]

The recent discovery of a dead endangered vaquita in the Gulf of Mexico late last month marked the fourth of the world’s smallest porpoise to be found this year.

A staggering number since scientists estimated in February that there were only 25 remaining vaquitas still in existence.

As reported by Phys.org, it is feared that these rare mammals, who live exclusively in the Gulf of California, are facing extinction.

The latest deceased vaquita was found a little north of the town of San Felipe, in the state of Baja California.
