'Panda Of The Sea' Close To Extinction; Only 30 Left?
The "Panda of the Sea" is close to extinction according to a recent report from the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA).
It is indicated in the report that the Vaquita Porpoise which is sometimes known as the "Panda of the Sea" only has 30 left. This creature is the smallest of the catecean population. It also has the smallest body size which measures 4.5 feet long.
Currently, scientists are looking for drastic measures in order to conserve the population for the "Panda of the Sea." It is recorded that there has been a significant drop of the population of the said creature from 2011 to 2016. It dropped its population to 40 percent each year within the span of years indicated.
According to a report, the "Panda of the Sea" live in the Gulf of California. This is also where mostly illegal fishing is prominent. Scientists are making their own ways to save the creature's small population. They are waiting for government's approval to capture these animals so to be kept safe and reproduced.
This way, they are able to monitor the increasing number of the "Panda of the Sea." This goal may bring in more challenges as the mammals are hard to capture. The creatures may also not suit the place where it will be kept.
Meanwhile, it is indicated in a report that the situation of the "Panda of the Sea" is out of control. It has been decreasing rapidly in a span of time. These mammals need a drastic restoration so to keep them from being extinct.
It is indicated that if the "Panda of the Sea" is still captured in gill nets, then the extinction will be significant. The creatures need to be cared of and there are different measures that the scientists are taking in as of this time.
