A goodbye to our aquatic friend : (

@Jerryguy1818 I wish it didn't have to be.

[jokusuper]

now the end ?

I would happily put my hand up to be the first person to die if I knew the next 7 billion other humans would be guaranteed to die within 3 weeks! The most dangerous & immoral animals on earth are humans - the sooner we are wiped out the quicker this planet will regain its natural heritage!

[oshilzl]

arn't there still some left?

[LightsiderVlogs]

@oshilzl It is possible. Unfortunately, there have been no confirmed sightings since the announcement. The Yangtze is over-fished and great lengths of it are poisoned by industrial runoff. Survivors are unlikely, but possible. Even if a few remain, there is no longer enough genetic diversity for the species to recover. There is still time to save the Ganges and Amazon River dolphins, however. The tragedy of the baiji need not be repeated!

[oshilzl]

@LightsiderVlogs thanks for illuminating the subject. i 100% agree. let the yangtze river dolphin be an example of what we should not repeat.
