Dolphin thought extinct spotted in China

Just got this from a friend.

The 'baiji' a freshwater dolphin in China that was previously believed to be functionally extinct has been spotted and filmed in China.

Here is a link to his story on digg: http://digg.com/environment/Extinct_dolphin_spotted_in_Yangtze_River

So there is still hope for this species to be saved. Haha, which will also save some face for China.

 

Thank god for that. They need to do something about this.

 

It may be too late though. Now that the baiji has been spotted again, scientists need to try to capture some and breed them in captivity. I fear that they will not be successful.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

 

lets hope that this good news is replicated with other species

 

Thats great news! But they must now work to preserve these dolphins from the brink of extinction.

 

Yes, good news.

 

With just one specimen spotted, the species might still be fucntionally extinct. Let's hope there are more and they can still breed.

 

I wonder what it tastes like. Bet it's delicious.

 

LMAO

In this poor old world a sense of humor is essential.
