In December 2009 a survey of the Yangtze river failed to see a surviving
Baiji or Yangtze river dolphin. Since there is also know Baiji in captivity, the species has been declared "functionally extinct." The last captive specimen died in 2002. It's the first marine mammal to disappear in 50 years.
The recent flood of
industrialization most likely contributed to their demise, particularly the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, along with other smaller damming projects.
It just breaks my heart to know that there will never be a picture like this again.
