CHINA-HUBEI-WUHAN-YANGTZE FINLESS PORPOISES-PROTECTION (CN)

(230727) -- WUHAN, July 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A trainer feeds baby finless porpoise F9C22 at the Baiji Dolphin House under the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, July 5, 2023. Three generations of researchers at the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have spent decades rescuing and nursing endangered species - the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise. The latter is dubbed the "smiling angel of the Yangtze River" as its slightly curly lips resemble those of a smiling person. Baiji dolphin Qi Qi passed away in July 2002 after living for more than 22 years at the Baiji Dolphin House under CAS Institute of Hydrobiology in Wuhan. There was no more Baiji dolphin at the house after Qi Qi's death, but the house and the Wuhan Baiji Conservation Foundation kept their names unchanged. Researchers there decided to apply protective measures designed for Baiji dolphins to their "cousins" - Yangtze finless porpoises. Ele
