The vaquita, an icon of the Gulf of California, is swiftly dying out.

The vaquita is a small porpoise which only lives in the Gulf of California.

There are thought to be only between six and 20 of the vaquita porpoises left.

The vaquita is a rare species of porpoise endemic to the northern part of the Gulf of California.

Mexico imposed a two-year ban on gillnet fishing in the vaquita's habitat in 2015, extending it earlier this year.
