Yangtze River Dolphin Is Extinct

Scientists have declared the Yangtze river dolphin (known as the baiji) extinct after an intensive survey failed to find evidence of a single animal in the waterway.

The extinction is being blamed on pollution, shipping and over-fishing and it's the first large vertebrate species obliterated by human activity for 50 years and the first ever cetacean (whales, dolphins, and porpoises). Link
