Most endangered mammals in the world are near Puerto Penasco

This article was posted over on Bloodydecks & I found it interesting enough to share. Anyone see one of these while on the water?

I think I ate one once.

(kidding, of course!)

I have spent a lot of time on the water and have never seen a vaquita. I've looked for them, too. With only 200-300 still in existence (if that), chances of actually seeing one are pretty slim. I've seen lots of schools of common bottle-nosed type dolphins, several species of whales, mantas, whale sharks, an orca, a basking shark, totuava, and lots of other cool stuff, but never a vaquita.

Maybe someday. Before they're all gone. :cry: :|

With a name like Vaquita, I would image they taste like veal :lol:

When I lived in hawaii we regularly saw Monk seals (a little over 1000 remaining) but they look similar to most other seals, nothing special. I would much rather see a Vaquita.
