It's #savethevaquita week and we drew one of these beautiful little animals to show support! They are critically endangered, but there are ways to help!

It's currently #SaveTheVaquita week!

The Vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal and the few that remain living around the Gulf of California.

Pixel art of the endangered marine mammal, the vaquita. It is a dolphin shaped animal with dark eyes, nose and line across its body. It is swimming in the ocean past rocks covered in plant life and light rays coming down from the ocean surface.

I missed #SaveTheVaquita Day!

I forgot I had made a comic about these ages ago (so long that I had to check if the Baiji is still listed as 'possibly extinct' or just 'extinct' 😭)

vaquita.day #Comics #Webcomics #Cetacean #Whales #Endangeredspecies #Conservation #Animalart #Sciart #NatureArt

comic panel: "The Littlest Whale: In Mexico's Gulf of California lives the world's smallest whale - the vaquita porpoise. [drawing of gulf and vaquita] vaquita means "little cow" they are about 4.5 feet long second panel: "It is also the rarest - there are less than 100 left! - if it is not already extinct, the Chiense river dolphin baiji is even more rare than the vaquita"

I’m still dealing with the art block, but I’m pushing myself to do stuff I already had planned, starting with another SeaWorld San Diego orca illustration, specifically Corky II.

#orca #cetacean #animalart #illustration

Corky II, an adult female Northern resident killer whale who lives at SeaWorld San Diego. Given that she’s the last Northern resident at the park and in captivity in general, she’s easy to recognize. Because of this, she is noticeably larger than the other females in the pod. Additionally, she has somewhat of a boxy head and a tall dorsal fin. Her coloration is the same as the rest of the whales, though her white patches have a slight yellowish hue. She also has long oval shaped eye patches and a tall dorsal fin. The art style is in between stylized and realistic using grainy brushes. Though the original illustration was a png, I added a background which is stylized artwork of the underwater viewing area at SeaWorld San Diego, which has clear blue water. Corky was also shaded to fit with the background.

It's not classy but it's effective! Scientists think this kind of foraging is under-reported in dolphins and other cetaceans.

Twitch.tv, a site for playing games and animal conservation!

We can't let the vaquita -- the panda of the sea, the little cow -- go extinct.

Marine mammal species across the globe are in crisis. i hope these efforts are effective for the Maui Dolphin. More large-scale emergency measures are needed to reverse their decline asap #dolphin #whale #cetacean #porpoise share.google/PVkozMljuQNh...

it's cool how cetaceans and hippopotami have a relatively close common ancestor

The 2nd paper of my #PhD on #cetacean backbone is now available at ! We show that repeated nearshore-offshore transitions are associated to convergence of the #backbone morphology of #dolphins and #porpoises at multiple taxonomic levels🐬

Panel 3: Image of vaquita and a fish caught in a gill net. "Despite efforts from Mlexico's government and conservation groups, vaquitas could be extinct by 2018 - UPDATE, THEY'RE NOT! - because of illegal fishing. Vaquita get tangled and drown in gill nets used to catch fish and shrimp." Panel 4: "There is one sure way to save the vaquita: get rid of gill nets! That means enforcing laws and giving local fishermen dolphin-safe nets. [image of a totoaba fish] Black market demand for endangered totoaba fish is driving both species extinct"
