A poem + picture of the vaquita, the most endagered and smallest porpoise species in the world. There are large words on the side. They read " #AKUnapowrimo April 3,2026 Phocoena sinus (scientific name), Vaquita / Vaquita marina (English & spanish common names). TO the left, there is a blue rectangle with a poem for the Vaquita. It reads:
Ten lines for las Vaquitas
Mar de Cortés with rich murky waters
Filled by Rio Colorado & her daughters
Woo the children of the sea- all besotted
And, this is where las vaquitas marinas are spotted
Wee little porpoise, the smallest actually
Navigate the foggy waters so angelically
Yet, gill nets from poachers snare diabolically, but accidentally,
all for that Chinese med blood money- the demands of the rich incidentally
TEN, maybe fewer, still remain in them waters
How do we save the remaining from these marauders?
There is a drawn stylized chibi picture of the vaquita in the upper right corner of this rectangle. The art is cute and is made by user crookedantlers
Splashin in for day 3 of #napowrimo 🌊 !
