Return of the baiji?

The Yangtze River's unique, freshwater dolphin, the baiji, was declared "functionally extinct" last year, and the last confirmed sighting was in 2004. Now some guy in China has caught one on film. (Reuters via NYT) Could it be? Are we in for another ivory-billed woodpecker hunt?


Either way, the poor baiji is probably toast. :( Have a nice day!
