One of the most interesting endangered marine animals is the vaquita, a small porpoise found only in the northern part of the Gulf of California, Mexico. With fewer than 30 individuals remaining, the vaquita is critically endangered primarily due to bycatch in illegal gillnets used for fishing another endangered species, the totoaba. Its unique characteristics, including its dark circles around the eyes and its shy nature, make it a fascinating yet tragic symbol of marine conservation challenges. Efforts to save the vaquita highlight the urgent need for sustainable fishing practices and habitat protection.
