The  Madagascar pochard  or  Madagascan pochard  ( Aythya innotata ;  Malagasy :  Fotsy maso, Onjo [2] ) is an extremely rare  diving duck  of the genus  Aythya . Thought to be extinct in the late 1990s, specimens of the species were rediscovered at  Lake Matsaborimena  near  Bemanevika  in  Madagascar  in 2006. As of Fall 2017, the population is around 90 individuals. The species was reintroduced to the wild in December 2018 Population size:  20-49 Population trend:  Stable Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident):  600 km 2 Country endemic:  Yes Attributes Land-mass type - shelf island Realm - Afrotropical IUCN Ecosystem -- Freshwater biome

Estimated Number of Mature Individuals:  about 10 in the wild (possibly between 6 and 22); none in captivity   Location:  Northern part of the Gulf of California   Current Conservation Status:  Critically Endangered  Scientific Name:  Phocoena sinus The vaquita  is currently the rarest animal in the world , and quite possibly the most endangered, with only about only 10 individual left in wild. That estimate comes from a report published by the IUCN in early 2019 that stated that only about 10 vaquitas remained alive in 2018, as per an acoustic monitoring program conducted in the Gulf, though there is a 95% chance they number between 6 and 22. Since the Vaquita was first discovered in 1958, its numbers have always been pretty low. Vaquitas are the smallest species of porpoise and easily get caught in gillnets (nets that catch fish by their gills) used by illegal fishing operations. Also Vaquitas have such a small population becaus...
