Vaquita The rare specie

 Vaquita The rare specie

Hello everyone, today I am going to tell you about a unique animal. Which you all must have not heard. I thought, I would ask you to guess the name of the animal but it would be really tough for you! Now let me tell you some amazing facts about the animal Vaquita! 

The smallest living species of cetacean, the Vaquita can be easily distinguished from any other species in its range. It has a small body with an unusually tall, triangular dorsal fin, a rounded head, and no distinguished beak. The coloration is mostly grey with a darker back and a white ventral field. Now let me tell you who discovered this water animal. The Vaquita was first described as a species by two zoologists, Kenneth S. Norris and William N. McFarland, in 1958 after studying the morphology of skull specimens found on the beach. It was not until nearly thirty years later, in 1985, that fresh specimens allowed scientists to describe their external appearance fully. Hmmm, now you must be thinking what they eat and where they stay? Don’t worry I will give you an answer of this too.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Habitat:

 Vaquita habitat is restricted to a small portion of the upper Gulf of California (also called the Sea of Cortez), making this the smallest range of any marine mammal species. They live in shallow, turbid waters of less than 150 m (490 ft) depth.        

Diet:                                                                                                                                            Vaquitas are generalists, foraging on a variety of demersal fish species, crustaceans, and squids, though benthic fish such as grunts and croakers make up most of the diet.


Amazing now you have come across a new animal which is Vaquita, and must also have gained knowledge. I will surely come up with these types of blogs of you like. Tell me in comments till then Byeeeeee………..
