Final Post

This is my final post so I have decided to answer some questions that were sent to me. So it's my time to sit back and answer some questions. Firstly I'll tell you some of my overall feelings about blogging. I loved blogging,even though sometimes I have trouble putting the information together. The reason I enjoyed blogging was because I got to explore all different kinds of extinct and endangered species. It was very interesting and fun to gather all the information together. It was also very surprising for me to find some animals that were so small but so vicious.

Secondly, I'm going to tell you a little bit about my favourite post and the reason why. So, my favourite post would have to be "The Vaquita". It is my favourite post because I find it very interesting to study about aquatic animals and such. Also it was very fascinating to get to know about them, like they rises to breathe with a slow, forward-rolling movement that barely disturbs the surface of the water.

Third up, a person asked that do I think I improved writing for blogging over the few weeks. Well, my answer is yes. I think I improved alot of my writing because I learned new powerful and cool words and also learned how to make better sentences.

Lastly, I would really want to continue blogging because it's fun to look for information and post about them.

Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey

The Vaquita

The Vaquita, a small porpoise endemic to Mexico's Gulf of California, is the world's smallest and most endangered small marine cetacean. With fewer than 150 left, high levels of entanglement in fishing gear threaten imminent extinction if current trends continue.

The vaquita lives in shallow lagoons along the shoreline. It is usually found in waters 10 - 28 m deep within 25 km from shore, although it can survive in lagoons so shallow that its back protrudes above the water. Other of its habitat are strong tidal mixing and high productivity of the aquatic plant and animal communities.
The vaquita appears to swim and feed in a leisurely manner, but it is elusive and will avoid boats of any kind. It rises to breathe with a slow, forward-rolling movement that barely disturbs the surface of the water, and then disappears quickly, often for a long time. The vaquita uses high-frequency clicks for echolocation. Vaquita's are generally solitary animals unless accompanied by a calf.
