It looks like they may have spotted one. Maybe. If we're lucky.

And shall we sit beside the river,
with three tiny fishes,
to keep the Baiji company,
into the welcoming dark.

A small and useless girlchild, I.

I am still weeping.

Candles of hope that there are more, just hiding out somewhere away from harm.

(we are down to about 100-150 Cross River Gorillas(subspecies Gorilla gorilla diehli(proposed not official) now--

And I have a mental picture of Dick Cheney as Montgomery Burns...

"Ya gotta admit it's catchy."

Wouldn't it be great if someone could superimpose Cheney heads over all the Monty Burnses in those shots?
