Vaquita - Phocoena sinus endangered species

(not rlly fun facts)

Fun Fact 1 : from 2011 to 2016 alone, 90% of the vaquita population has dropped and now the estimated number for 2023 is 10-13 vaquitas (they live in Mexico). Before this in 1997 there was 600 vaquitas.(;_;)

Fun Fact 2 : A vaquita is a type of porpoise. Porpoises are one of the smallest members of the cetacean familv which includes dolohins and whales. Man species of porpoise are barely studied and most of what we know of them comes from when they are found washed up.

(´；Д；`)

Fun Fact 3 : The vaquita population has been declining because of illegal fishing with gillnets for an endangered fish called totoaba which is wanted for its swim bladder. When gillnets are used many species get caught in it by accident and get tangled while trying to escape, this happens to sea turtles a lot.｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Image 1 : Hooded seal - Cystophora cristata

Fun Fact : Male hooded seals that are sexually mature are able to inflate a large red sac from one of its nostrils, about the size of a balloon. They do this by shutting the other nostril valve and inflating a membrane which comes out of the other. This is done to attract females / show aggression towards other males.(if u wanna see look it up<3) ^ ^

Image 2 : Harp seal (pup) - Pagophilus groenlandicus

Fun Fact : Harp seal pups (babies) are born with long white fur that helps them absorb sunlight to stay warm while they're developing blubber (as in the pic). Once they grow up they turn a light grey with short fur and dark grey spots. So cute! (о´∀`о)

Image 3 : Hawaiian monk seal - Monachus schauinslandi

Fun Fact : Once a year, hawaiian monk seals molt the top layer on their skin and fur. They do this to keep their coat free of algae. They're also one of the most endangered marine mammal species.
