"Experts say as few as 15 of the marine mammals remain in the Gulf, the only place they exist, and none have ever been held in captivity."

"A voyage by researchers in late September sighted six or seven of the creatures, including a mother with a new calf. The sightings suggested that most of the remaining vaquitas have gathered in a roughly a 12- by 25-mile (20 by 40km) rectangle, a small enough area that it could potentially by protected by floating barriers to keep out the small boats used by poachers."

I've been reading about these little guys for awhile now. The human race is intent on destroying other species.
