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.

Where is a place to donate money to the animal vaquitas?
You can donate money to organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund or the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which support efforts to protect the vaquita population. Additionally, the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA) is a scientific panel that also accepts donations to fund conservation efforts for vaquitas.
How fast do Vaquitas swim?
Vaquitas, the world's rarest marine mammal, are known to swim at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour (about 18.6 miles per hour) in short bursts. However, they typically swim at slower speeds while foraging for food. Their agility in the water helps them navigate their natural habitat in the Gulf of California, although their population is critically endangered due to various threats.
How do vaquita catch their prey?
Vaquitas catch their prey primarily by using echolocation, emitting clicks and listening for the echoes that bounce back from nearby objects. They primarily feed on small fish and invertebrates found in their shallow coastal habitat. By detecting the location and movement of their prey, vaquitas can accurately target and capture them with agility. Their hunting technique is adapted to their environment, allowing them to thrive in the murky waters of the Gulf of California.
Are there laws to protect vaquitas?
Yes, Mexico's President Enrique Nieto initiated a plan in 2015 that includes a two-year ban on gillnet fishing in the area, and patrols by the Mexican navy.
