From Wikipedia:
The habitat of the vaquita is thought to be restricted to the northern area of the Gulf of California. The vaquita lives in shallow, murky lagoons along the shoreline and is rarely seen in water much deeper than 30 meters; indeed, it can survive in lagoons so shallow that its back protrudes above the surface. The vaquita is most often sighted in water 11 to 50 metres deep, 11 to 25 kilometres from the coast, over silt and clay bottoms. Its habitat is characterised by turbid water with a high nutrient content. Other characteristics of its habitat are strong tidal mixing, convection processes and high primary and secondary productivity.

Vaquitas are a type of porpoise that lives near Mexico in subtropical waters, so they have no need to hibernate. Furthermore, porpoises never even sleep! If they did sleep, they would drown, so instead they rest one half of the brain at a time.
