    Old news, we've seen it before, but still sad. I hope they are wrong, and that a few baji are hiding somewhere in a tributary or something. The Yangtzee is so polluted - not just with contaminants, but with noise - very important for a dolphin's navigation system. They were beautiful creatures, we saw a video of them years ago on a CD Douglas Adams (Yes, the Hitchhiker's Guide author)put out called "Last Chance to See," which I reccomend everyone watch. I hope no other species follow them, and that humans begin to pay more attention to the creatures with which we share this planet.

    I really hope so too!!

    I saw a TV program about this the other day, it's so sad.
