Padlefish and Baiji dolphin river. Both went extinct at the same time by the same dam. 2003 and 2007. Our time.
The "Las Vegas Frog" have a stroke of luck, but it is always the same history
And the californian vaquita is probably extinct yet.
- xbar 5y agoI had never heard of the California vaquita. Google revealed: "The tiny vaquita porpoise is the world’s most endangered marine mammal. Its numbers are decreasing with fewer than 19 remaining. Vaquitas die from entanglement in illegal gillnets which are intended to catch totoaba, in a lucrative illegal fishery that serves an illegal trade of swim bladders to China." https://www.mmc.gov/priority-topics/species-of-concern/vaquita/ https://www.mmc.gov/priority-topics/species-of-concern/vaqui...
