Perhaps not a total surprise, but very welcome news, though the reprieve may be short-lived.
Thanks to Mark Andrews for sharing this on Facebook today.

Hi Jon,
The NGO China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Developement Foundation, which behind this “breaking news” do not have a real good reputation for many reasons. One of them was they also claimed a “rediscover” of the Baiji last year, however never showed any solid evidence so far. This time is no exception, the photoes they got did not show any sign of dorsal fin at all, it’s very strange and unreal for a Baiji close to water surface.
