vaquita adult and juvenile skeletons

I have now seen the remains of the 3 vaquitas on public display. There is also a preserved vaquita at the Tijuana aquarium which is on the Tijuana zoo gallery here on zoochat. 3 individuals are equal to 10% of the complete population of living vaquitas left, 30 according to the most optimistic estimates.
 
Sadly, vaquita numbers are now even lower than when i toke this photo. Only 10 vaquitas are now sighted in the protected area of the Gulf of California, though some estimates consider that there may be vaquitas outside of the protected area.
At the most optimistic estimate, there maybe 15 vaquitas. A 50% reduction since i posted this photo.
