	Yangtze River Dolphin, Lipotes vexillifer at MarineBio.org
		Yangtze river dolphins, Lipotes vexillifer (Miller, 1918), (aka Chinese river dolphin, baiji, Pei C'hi, whitefin dolphin, whiteflag dolphin), are listed as critically endangered and are nearly extinct with the latest research unable to find any individuals in the wild.
		The Yangtze river dolphin, Lipotes vexillifer, primarily feeds on river fish.
		Yangtze river dolphins, Lipotes vexillifer, are one of the most highly endangered species in the cetacean family with an estimated population between 60-250 animals though recent surveys have not found a single individual.

	ADW: Lipotes vexillifer: Information
		Lipotes vexillifer, also known by the common name baiji, is found in China in the mouth of the Chang Jiang (Yangtze) to a point about 1900 km up the river, as well as in the middle and lower regions of the Quintangjiang River and in the Dongting and Poyang lakes.
		It is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species, it is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and it is on CITES appendix I. The total population is estimated at less than 100 animals; surveys in the late 1990s put the minimum population estimate at 13.
		Programs are being established to breed Lipotes vexillifer in captivity, though no one has yet succeeded at housing wild baiji for long.

		The pink, or Amazona, river dolphin's genus name, Inia, is based on the name given to the dolphin by local people in Bolivia, while the species name geoffrensis is a tribute to the French naturalist Etienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire.
		The Yangtze River dolphin's name, by contrast, is Lipotes vexillife.
		This may refer to its river distribution in general, or to the fact that its type locality—the origin of the specimen on which the original description was based—was 600 miles up the Yangtze River, very far inland.

		On 13 December 2006, the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer) was declared “functionally extinct” after a search expedition, under the direction of the Wuhan Institute for Hydrobiology and the Swiss-based baiji.org Foundation, drew to a finish without any results.

		* In one area where the baiji is most common (Anhui Province) a council has been set up called the ‘Lipotes** vexillifer Conservation Association.' The association is to spread information about the baiji, especially among fishermen along the Yangtze River.
		An increased awareness of the baiji may have accounted for the rescue of several animals which had been hit by propellers.
