A group of Chinese endangered species, the white dolphins, also called the “giant pandas of the sea”, has been spotted swimming off the coast in east China’s Fujian Province.
There are at least five adults and a tiny gray calf. The calf is believed to be less than a month old and is in good health.
Chinese white dolphins are known to be highly sensitive to water quality, making them important indicators of a healthy marine ecosystem. In recent years, ongoing environmental improvements in the region have helped maintain a stable dolphin population, with at least one calf born each year.
