Farewell, River Dolphin…

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

And Then There Were None
A freshwater dolphin found only in China known as the river dolphin is most likely extinct, according to a team of scientists.

The researchers failed to spot any of the dolphins, also known as baijis, during an extensive six-week survey of the mammals’ habitat.

If confirmed, it would be the first extinction of a large vertebrate for over 50 years. Swim to the light, river dolphin.

Thanks Kenny!

    Actually, there are fresh water dolphins in the Amazon river (Brazil) and the Ganges river (Bangladesh) as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_dolphin
