I never dreamed I would be in a position to even see vaquita, let alone film the animal in the wild. The stage was set, perfect weather for seeing vaquita.

This footage was captured on October 19, 2008 while filming a documentary I am making entitled "The Search for the Desert Porpoise".

Scientist Tom Jefferson narrates this incredible close encounter.
