Finless porpoise celebrates first birthday in central China

A Yangtze finless porpoise code-named F7C plays in the breeding pond at the Institute of Hydrobiology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan, Hubei Province on June 2, 2019. The 1-year-old male, part of an artificial breeding program, celebrated its birthday on Sunday. Rarer than China's giant panda, the finless porpoise is a mammal similar to the dolphin, but now teeters on the brink of extinction with a population of around 1,000. [Photo: Xinhua]
