Like a web,
the net
devoured my soul.
With invisible hands,
the net
gouged my body.
Like a whirlpool,
the net
sucked me in;
stabbing me with knives,
wrapping me up.
I rolled to escape
the net,
but it was no use.
The net
tightened,
suffocating me.
The net
stopped my heart.
The Vaquita eats a wide range of small fish and squid. All of the 17 fish species that have been found in Vaquita stomachs can be classified as Demersal and/or Benthic species living in relatively shallow water in the northern Gulf of California.
The Vaquita has been known to science since
A) 1955.
B) 1938.
C) 1972.
D) 1958.
José Hernàndez (whom Diane Glim commented about on a previous post) from Mariachi Sol de Mexico, Save the Whales, and ¡Viva Vaquita! teamed up to do a public service announcement about the Vaquita being broadcasted on radio stations in the Monterey, California area. You can listen to it here: http://www.savethewhales.org/vaquita_psa.html.
Yet another poster (in Spanish) about the Vaquita. I believe it is by Memuco.

Here is another amazing poster from Memuco: http://visual.ly/unnatural-disasters. It really puts into perspective how endangered the Vaquita really is. The poster also features the Baiji (previous post) and the Yangtze River Finless Porpoise with a lot of information on each cetacean.
