Editor's note: This article was originally published on May 25, 2022. It has since been updated. The vaquita, also known as the Phocoena sinus, is a small porpoise that is native to the northern area of the Gulf of California. This divine sea creature can grow to be approximately five feet long and, when fully grown, weighs around 120 pounds. The animal has been on the endangered list for several years now, but concerns about its survival are growing. There were 600 vaquitas in 1997. The population dwindled to 30 in 2017, and today, there are thought to be only about 10 left. Environmentalists believe fishermen’s use of gill nets is the reason behind the vaquita's increasing endangerment, Kingdoms TV reports.

This is the stunning vaquita, the rarest animal in the world. Only 10 of them exist.

Rare footage captured by a camera strapped to the back of an endangered shark shows the moment it was struck by a boat, prompting the animal to dash into deep waters.

A camera attached to a basking shark has captured the first-ever recorded instance of the species being hit by a boat. The 23-foot (seven-meter) female basking shark was struck off the coast of Ireland on April 24. Researchers from Oregon State University attached the tag that only stays on for 12 hours so they were either lucky to capture the footage or incidents are more common than previously thought.

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.
