White Dolphin Functionally Extict

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the gone-the-way-of-the-dodo dept.

An anonymous reader writes "For the first time in nearly fifty years another mammal, specifically an aquatic mammal, has gone extinct. In this case, it was the white dolphin, also known as the Baiji, which used to live in the Yangtze River in China. The dolphin had been known to exist for the last 20 million years."

    Yeah, yeah... we know the Wii is cool and all, but calling the Gamecube already extinct is a bit over-dramstic, don't you think?

    The Simpsons hasn't been worth the cellulose it's drawn on since the mid nineties.
