Description: English: These are two specimens of fetal Baiji Dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer), which are exhibited in the Museum of Hydrobiological Sciences, Wuhan Institute of Hydrobiology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are taken from two female dolphins after dissection. Both pregnant dolphins, with another three (2 female and a male, 5 in total) that consisted a whole family, are believed to be killed during a waterway clearing bombard on the Yangtze River in January 1974, which took place in then Honghu County (now Honghu City), Hubei Province. In this image, two fetal dolphins are clearly shown, which is a bigger female dolphin that is 73 centimetres long and weighs 4.8 kilograms, and a smaller male dolphin that is 54.5 centimetres long and weighs 2.5 kilograms, respectively.
