"China's Rare River Dolphin Now Extinct, Experts Announce"
Qi Qi, a rare Chinese river dolphin, was rescued from the Yangtze River in 1980 and lived in Wuhan Baiji Aquarium, until she died in 2002. A recent six-week search on the Yangtze failed to find any trace of the endangered dolphin species, leading scientists to announce that the animal is "functionally extinct."
The rare Chinese river dolphin has gone extinct, according to scientists who could not find a single one of the animals during a six-week search on China's Yangtze River.
The small, nearly blind white dolphin, also known as the baiji, was nicknamed "the goddess of the Yangtze."
The delicate dolphin, which dates back 20 million years, was found only in China's longest river, the Yangtze.
If Pfluger's team is correct, the baiji will be the first large aquatic mammal to have gone extinct since hunting and overfishing killed off the Caribbean monk seal in the 1950s.
