Baiji

(Lipotes vexillifer)

the Baiji is a species of small freshwater dolphin found exclusively in the Yangtze River in China. Since 2006 they have been declared functionally extinct as there were no individuals left in the river. since then a large amount of conservation efforts were put in place to reintroduce captive animals back into the heavily industrialized river.
