Link: Rare Dolphin Seen in China, Experts Say – New York Times.

A Chinese man has videotaped a large white animal swimming in the Yangtze River that experts say is a member of a dolphin species unique to China and feared extinct, the official Xinhua news agency said Wednesday.
The last confirmed sighting of a member of the species, the long-beaked, nearly blind baiji, was in 2004. After an international team failed to find a single dolphin on a six-week expedition along the Yangtze last year, the species was classified as critically endangered and possibly extinct. But the videotape from central Anhui Province may renew slim hopes for the survival of the creature, also known as the white-flag dolphin.
